We had the good fortune of connecting with Anthony Castillo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Anthony, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
I already knew I didn’t want to work for someone else and this was my way of retaining that freedom while enjoying what I do.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m most excited for the projects I have coming up! Each project is different and they’re becoming larger and larger challenges for me to overcome. I’ve been getting better opportunities because I put everything into my work, I behave professionally and I’m not afraid to make mistakes. I’ve learned a lot about running a business in the last few years but it’s only made me stronger.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well I live in Las Vegas so it’s easy to find a good time, but my heart will always be in the downtown arts district. It’s really blossomed since I was a child and there are a ton of things to do for any taste. Walking down Main Street to shop, bar hop or just check out the art all over the walls is a good time.

My daughter Ripley for giving me that little extra drive and for being the sweetest baby ever.
