Patrick Castro Email & Phone Number

LA-based Visual Designer & Art Director with 6+ years of work experience in digital design and social media. My expertise lies in the intersection of visual design, creative strategy, and community building for emerging, disruptive startups. Currently, I am over at Fifth Wall, a venture capital firm focused on technology for the global real estate industry and climate, as a Senior Designer where I lead all brand and digital design. Until recently, I was freelancing as an designer, art director, and photographer working with brands in the D2C space such as Territory Foods, Clutter, Katherine Alexandra New York, and Freelance Founders encompassing everything from email design ecosystems, organic & paid social strategy, digital design and web design. Before freelancing, I was in-house at Byte, AvantStay, and Omaze, leading brand and digital creative along with building community on social media, touching all elements of the brand both online and offline. At Byte, I lead all digital design for growth marketing as well as brand campaigns. At AvantStay, I led all brand creative from social to email to print as well as helping the company raise $20M in Series A (a big feat!). At Omaze, I led a $1MM+ organic social media channel driving over $1.3MM in revenue and built a community of 1.5M collectively across 6 channels.

Listed skills include Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Nikon Dslr, Photography, and 11 others.
