About

THECASTLEROSE was founded in 2017 by graphic designer / illustrator / crybaby, Irene Castellano. 🌷
SHE / HER — Hi, hello, that’s me. The TCR shop started out as an excuse to draw cute pastel-coloured nonsense after long, boring days of working as an in-house graphic designer.
I've since left the in-house design world and now split my time between the shop and freelance work.
When I'm not drawing faces on flowers and turning them into stickers, I design thoughtful & whimsical branding, illustration, and other bits n' pieces for folks doing and making cool stuff. ✨
