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

Hi LENIA, what’s the most important lesson your business/career has taught you?
No project should be underestimated. They all require the same dedication and discipline. These have been the two fundamental pillars that have guided each decision-making.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
We are capable of executing any style, regardless of scale or height. We are very motivated to execute projects that are challenging due to their complexity, as this forces us to learn new technologies and increase our networking. Additionally, although last not least, humility is a value that we foster in my team because without it, it is impossible to recognize that the strength of a group lies in the strength of each of its members.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First, it introduces them to some of Atlanta landmarks: High Museum, Aquarium, Zoo, Coca Cola Museum, Centennial Park, Fernbank Museum. I would take them to Ponce City Market, The Battery, Scofflaw at The Works, Piedmont Park, some restaurants in Buckhead, Little Five Points and of course I would show them the murals that I have painted especially in Downtown. I would try to attend a concert at the Tabernacle. Also at night, a good entertainment would be to go to Flight Club to play darts and then to stop by Northside Tavern.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
To my family and friends To my loyal clients for the vote of confidence
To my artists for navigating projects with me that seemed impossible.
