Experience
Pat began her career in fashion design which eventually led her to the advertising industry. Armed with degrees in design and textile chemistry, Pat became the Head Designer of a national dress line produced in Honolulu. Her management skills blossomed as she demonstrated her ability to take designs from concept to production and distribution.
In 1990, Pat sought to blend her creative and business skills by joining Honolulu-based graphic design agency, Castro & Nomura. A natural self-starter, she saw the opportunity to expand the business to something more. She developed the account service, media and market planning departments, forming a new full-service agency, Castro / Monick, in 1991.
In 1993, Laird Christianson Advertising (now known as Anthology) came calling. While serving for many years as Senior Vice President of Account Service, she helped transform them from a small, five-person company into what it is now, Honolulu’s largest marketing communications company. Her experience and business acumen helped bring in category leaders in hospitality, retail, finance / insurance and development.
Not one to stand still for long, Pat sought a new challenge and formed a partnership in 2006 with Creative Director, Stan Moy, as Red Rover Creative LLC dba 4Front Branding.
