Castillo is an Illustration student at KCAI, specializing in character design and visual storytelling. They have always been passionate about telling stories through their character’s visual identity - facial expressions, positioning, colors, textures, lighting, shading, background, etc. Their dream is to be able to create characters and stories that fill others with as much excitement, inspiration and joy as they have when drawing and writing them.

Although they mostly work in digital illustration with fantasy themes, they do enjoy branching out into other genres and mediums such as collage, painting and the occasional animation. In their spare time, they freelance as a storyboard artist and accept art commissions on Instagram. Currently, they are developing a western fantasy webcomic, “Woes & Wiles” with a close friend as their writer, which they ultimately hope to launch through their company GoldenWalls, LLC.
