Benjamin Castro

Hello.
I am a Textile Artist and Graphic Designer working in the apparel industry. I am excited to contribute my years of experience and creativity to a new venture. I’ve worked for Tommy Bahama for over ten years as their senior graphic Artist. I headed up creating original brand-specific prints and illustrations for apparel, special edition projects, and brand-specific merchandise. 

I have designed for Nordstrom brand apparel and soft accessories designing scarves, soft accessories, and seasonal textile prints.
At Clothworks Textiles, I created the print collections, catalog design, and sales material. In my own time, I design for various other brands and clients in the apparel and home industry. I also have several years of production experience with design, product, and collateral finalizing under company branding standards. 

I love to create in various art mediums and apply them to the appropriate design, products, and apparel. I welcome the opportunity to provide my creative talent and face the challenges and hurdles necessary to produce that special one-of-a-kind piece with current trends and style in mind. 

Sincerely,
Benjamin Castro
