Dominic Pastino, Chief Creative Director Chief Creative Director

Dominic Pastino

Growing up, I always believed in the power of creativity. If you thought and dreamed hard enough, you could build anything you wanted. Limitations were never something I accepted. They were just problems waiting for a creative solution.

Building with Legos, traveling across the country and the world with my family, reading stories, taking piano lessons. All of it shaped the way I see things. Every experience added a new layer to how I think, how I create, and what I believe is possible.

That yearning to show people what becomes possible when you let your creativity flow is exactly why Eastern Studios exists. Whether it's a local food spot, a product, a brand, or an idea that's never been done before. If someone out there has a creative vision, I want to make sure they have a real shot at sharing it with the world. Everyone deserves that chance.

Visual Storytelling

Great creative work starts with a great story. We approach every project with intention, making sure what we produce actually means something to the people who see it.

Community First

Our brands exist to serve real communities: local businesses, coastal towns, and the people who make them worth visiting. We build things that matter where people actually live.

No Limits

Creativity shouldn't be gated by budget or access. We work with real people on real budgets and make sure the final product looks and feels like it belongs at the top.
