Raymond Castro

Project Designer and Content Creator

Ray holds a unique hybrid role at Clayton Korte, working as both a designer and the firm’s architectural photographer and content creator. As a designer, he brings versatility across residential and ranch projects, supporting drawing development and coordination with the same attentiveness he applies to his visual work.

For Ray, the camera has always felt like an extension of design rather than a separate discipline. How a space is framed shapes how it’s understood, and that instinct carries through his work. Drawing on his background in photography, videography, drone documentation, and content creation for major brands, he applies that spatial sensibility to capturing Clayton Korte’s work, crafting imagery that doesn’t just show what the firm builds, but shapes how the world experiences it.

Born in Austin and raised in Oregon, Ray developed a deep appreciation for the natural world that runs through everything he does, from design decisions to the stories he tells through a camera. Outside the office, you’ll likely find him rock climbing, running, or being outwitted by his puppy.
