To know Casimer Creative, you need to know my grandfather.

My grandfather was a great man, both in business and at home. He was determined, fueled by a desire to provide for his family. He was a man that could turn a stranger into a friend with a hearty “hello,” a warm handshake, and a wide smile. He was a humble man, enthusiastically committing to every endeavor. He was the type of guy you just wanted to be around.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t be around him too long. In 1989, after a four-year battle against cancer, my grandfather passed away. I was 5 years old. While I have few lasting memories of my time spent with him, I can tell you each echo with the sounds of laughter and visions of ear-to-ear smiles.

My grandfather’s name was Casimer - but his friends called him “Casey.”

Casimer Creative is my tribute to my grandfather.

“Hello.” My name is Casey Barrale. Casimer was my grandfather, but Casey is my namesake.

Much of what I have today, if not all of it, is owed to my grandfather. My whole life, I have tried to keep his spirit alive by approaching life as I think he would. In a way that I think he’d be proud of. Warmly. Enthusiastically. Unapologetically, me.
