GRAPHICS & PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

GRAPHIC DESIGN / DEVELOPMENT / ARTWORK/ TECH PACKS
2018-2022

I collaborated with BABYLON and PLEASURES on apparel collections, lending my design and development expertise to bring each brand’s vision to life. For BABYLON, I focused on translating skate and punk influences into cut-and-sew pieces with graphic edge. With PLEASURES, I helped execute bold visual statements through technical support and artwork development, staying true to their irreverent and subversive style.

At Darc Sport, I lead women’s performancewear design from strategy to execution, overseeing seasonal drops of 100+ SKUs. I translate conceptual themes into wearable silhouettes, build comprehensive tech packs, and work cross-functionally to ensure production readiness. Each collection balances athletic utility with elevated streetwear aesthetics, tailored for our growing women’s community.

GARMENT VISUALIZATION

ART DIRECTION / BRANDING / 3d CREATION/ PRODUCT DESIGN
Jun, 2024

A study in tension and flow—these 3D garments fuse sculptural form with emotional charge. From the kinetic swirl of “Flujo Dinámico” to the quiet precision of engineered pleats and cutaways, each look balances boldness with restraint. Materials are rendered with intention: slick tech textiles meet matte knits, and structured tailoring collides with streetwise silhouettes. These pieces don’t just wear—they perform. Simulated but deeply tactile, they represent a design language that moves between digital craft and embodied futurism.

About Me.

Spotlighting select projects with heart, function, and concept

 I'm Brenda Castañeda — a multidisciplinary designer, creative director, and product developer with over a decade of experience in fashion and brand design. My work lives at the intersection of storytelling, visual identity, and technical execution.

I studied Fashion Design and Fine Art, which means my approach blends both structure and sensibility. I was trained to build garments with precision — and to think critically about form, meaning, and cultural impact. That dual background shaped how I work: part technical, part conceptual, always intentional.

My career began in apparel — designing performancewear, licensed streetwear, and cut & sew collections for brands like Darc Sport and The Hundreds. Over time, I expanded into creative direction, print development, and brand strategy. Today, I lead projects that range from seasonal apparel lines to full-scale identity systems and packaging campaigns.

Through my studio, Lunary, I partner with purpose-driven brands to create cohesive, emotionally resonant design — from initial concept to final execution. I believe good design is never just visual. It’s systemic. It’s strategic. And it should always reflect what a brand actually stands for.

My process is rooted in research, clarity, and care. Whether I’m building a tech pack or developing a brand moodboard, I approach each step with the same goal: to make something that holds up — in function, in feeling, and in meaning.

ILLUSTRATION

ART DIRECTION / BRANDING / GRAPHIC/ DESIGN
Jun, 2024

A visual choreography of shape, texture, and surreal edge—this illustration series channels high-concept fashion through a hyper-digital lens. Inspired by movement and metamorphosis, each image explores the tension between artificial finish and emotional resonance. Glossy sharp silhouettes bend and bloom like memory glitches. It’s a study in motion graphics without the motion—a still life of speed. Designed for multidisciplinary campaigns, these works embody a speculative aesthetic language: one foot in the runway, the other in the render queue.
