Turning Personal Stories Into Custom Enamel Pins with Pin Depot

For artist and designer Reina Castellanos, creativity is deeply personal. Known online as @reinavsreina, Reina brings storytelling, illustration, and thoughtful symbolism into every project she touches. When she needed custom enamel pins that could capture meaning, emotion, and craftsmanship, she partnered with Pin Depot to bring her ideas to life.

The result: beautifully detailed custom pins that feel as intentional as the stories behind them.

Designing Meaningful Wedding Keepsakes with Custom Enamel Pins

One of Reina’s most heartfelt projects with Pin Depot was a custom enamel pin set created as wedding favors for close friends. Rather than choosing a single generic design, Reina curated a collection of individual pins, each representing something meaningful to the couple.

The pin set featured:

• Symbolic illustrations tied to shared memories

• References to music, art, and meaningful locations

• Hand-lettered elements that added a personal, intimate feel

Each pin worked together as part of a cohesive set while still standing on its own. The finished pieces weren’t just favors. They were keepsakes guests could wear, collect, and treasure long after the celebration.

This project highlights how custom enamel pins can transform special moments into tangible memories.

Artist-Led Design Meets Pin Depot Craftsmanship

As an artist, Reina values quality just as much as creativity. Her collaboration with Pin Depot allowed her to focus on design, while trusting the production process to deliver clean lines, vibrant enamel fills, and polished metal finishes.

From detailed illustrations to small text elements, every pin in the set maintained clarity and consistency. The final result reflected Reina’s artistic vision without compromise, proving how custom pins can serve as both functional accessories and collectible art.

A Bold, Character-Driven Pin Design

In addition to the wedding pin set, Reina also worked with Pin Depot on a standalone enamel pin design featuring a bold character illustration. This pin showcased a completely different side of her creative style.

This project leaned into:

• Strong contrast and simplified linework

• A graphic, eye-catching silhouette

• A design meant to be worn, displayed, and shared

It’s a great example of how custom enamel pins can adapt to different aesthetics while maintaining consistent quality across projects.
