Template:RealworldPato Guzman (1933, Chile - 2 January 1991, Santiago, Chile) was Star Trek's very first production designer in 1964. Before working on Star Trek, Guzman, a friend of Desi Arnaz, was set designer on Desilu's I Love Lucy.
As Star Trek's production designer, Guzman was tasked with creating the look of the futuristic setting of Star Trek from scratch. With a lot of input from Gene Roddenberry and several outside advisors, Guzman designed the interior sets for "The Cage", and also did preliminary work on the Enterprise's exterior and bridge (the bridge and the Enterprise herself were largely assigned to Matt Jefferies, a 'regular' set designer at that time). A few of Guzman's sketches were reproduced in The Art of Star Trek in 1997.
Guzman left the series around October 1964 to return to Chile for a year, before the first pilot began filming. He was replaced by art director Franz Bachelin, and ultimately by Matt Jefferies, when Bachelin left as well after "The Cage".
Pato Guzman died on 2 January 1991, aged 58, after a brief illness.
