Libby and Patrick Castro

Co-founder of LP/ws Design Studios, Libby Castro (M.Arch; B.F.A., architecture, 1996) creates branded environments across typologies, informed by her architectural background. Born in Racine, Wisconsin, Libby earned an undergraduate and graduate degree in architecture from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She spent the first half of her career in San Francisco, head down in the details of creating award-winning, nationally recognized spaces. Since moving to Milwaukee, Libby struck a balance between time in front of the computer to where she truly belongs — with people. She is currently the branded environments designer where her architectural experience and her outgoing personality make both her clients and her comfortable, pleased, and happy.

Co-founder Patrick Castro leads creative communication development, ensuring the consistent delivery of beautiful, purposeful, and highly functional design across an ever-expanding range of mediums and platforms. Born in the Philippines and raised in Louisiana, Patrick has more than 17 years of design experience working on East and West coasts in strategic and brand communication firms and as the in-house brand manager for an international multibillion-dollar corporation. His work has been recognized, published, exhibited, and awarded by design and business organizations alike.

The Castros have also recently joined Workshop Architects as interior design director and creative director.
