Be Yourself and the World is Yours - The Story Behind Our First Garage Tee

I will be the first to admit that I am no graphic designer, fashion guru, social media expert, or professional writer. But I do have a dream and believe in the community we are trying to build and the message we are trying to spread with Garage by Castillo Fam Bam. My wife and I the past nine months have been trying to brainstorm the type of legacy we want to leave behind. I forgot to mention that we are new parents with a nine month old daughter. In every conversation we kept coming back to the lessons we learned, the lessons we were taught, the ups, the downs, and ultimately wanting to create a world that we want our daughter to grow up in. 

Inspired by my childhood being raised in the Garage we decided to create a community and a brand. Our motto is “Made with love. Meant to inspire." Simply we want to celebrate simplicity, spread positivity, and empower others. The garage was a place that my family laughed, celebrated, cried, had deep conversations, and served generations of my family. The memories and lessons learned there are what carried me through the different chapters of my life and will be what I teach my daughter. 

Now, we needed to decide what would be the first shirt that we drop. When we chose this quote it wasn't just about a catchy saying. We wanted to start Garage by Castillo Fam Bam with a message that matters. A message we live by. A message we hope reminds you that world doesn't need a version of you that fits in - it needs you to show up as you are. It is a message we want our daughter to learn. 

Because when you do that? 

That's when the world starts to open up. 

Thanks for being here from the start. We're just getting warmed up.
