Our Team
Founded by Tommy Richards and Sandra Castro, 1797 Creative is a house united.
Here you won’t have to choose between a strong creative team or a great media team, sacrificing quality and strength in the other half of your agency.

Sandra Castro
CEO/Media Director
Sandra would love to learn to sew. She tried once. It didn’t go well, but she’s no quitter! Maybe she’ll make outfits for Jennifer’s dogs!
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Tommy Richards
President/Creative Director
Tommy admires honesty and humility in his circle of friends. He’s also well down the path of being an oenophile, so you can count on him to bring a bottle he didn’t choose by the graphics on the label.
Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art.
Our Founders' Legacy
Sandra Castro and Tommy Richards have decades of marketing experience between them. Before founding 1797 Creative, they’ve been trusted to manage some of the biggest, most recognizable brands.











































Jennifer Smith
Social Media Director
Though she be but little, she is fierce.

Julie Graham
Writer
Julie’s favorite indulgence is cross-stitching under a blanket and a pile of dogs during a thunderstorm. It’s her Nerdvana. Her daughter is a ninja (a combat martial arts black belt) and small enough to pack in Jacqueline’s suitcase.
There is no limit to the amount of good you can do if you don’t care who gets the credit.

Kyler Herrera
Creative
In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his dachshund Zoey, photography, and drawing.
What stands in the way becomes the way.

Lilia Castillo Jones
Business Development Director
Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem.

Cynthia Castro
HR and Accounting Director
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

Alfredo Valverde
Business Development/Contract Specialist
Don't take life too seriously. You'll never get out alive!
