Here you can find out very important things about me like my education, what past clients think of me, random facts, and even some of my greatest secrets! Such as:
Yes, I like puppies. No, I don’t like mushrooms on my pizza! Yes,
I believe that music plus work inspires greatness. MUAHAHA! *cough* anyways enjoy!
I'm currently available for work. If you have a project you want to discuss, send me an email or call my phone. I'd be happy to talk with you about your project or idea in order to make it happen.
So here's a little bit of information about me. I’m a designer that specializes in advertising and web design. I love advertising because it’s challenging to come up with strategies and concepts, copywriting and executing great multi-media ad campaigns that work towards what the client needs. I’m also in love with designing and developing websites. Coming up with a clean, beautiful website and then making it fully functional makes all the long sleepless nights worth it.
This brings us to where I was born and raised; Queens, New York. New York is full of inspiration for a designer! I love it here, and I always have. Even though I love New York, I also like to travel and visit places that I've never been to before! I also like to go into Barnes and Noble to just look at the newest design magazines and books just for inspiration and motivation (I know it’s an obsession, but I prefer to live with it than without it!).
Research is my main drive for any campaign, I then just take out my “handy dandy notebook”, (I hope I don’t get sued for that) my awesome pen or pencil, and let my mind do the rest!
On my time not obsessing about design or advertising/marketing, I like to just relax, maybe draw or read a book. When I’m feeling lazy I might sit back and watch some movies, or if I have that itch to go out I’ll meet up with some friends and just hangout and do something new.
This is where I got most of my knowledge from:
CUNY New York City College of Technology
Bachelor Degree in Communication Design,
Graduated: Dec 2010
"Christian Castellanos really impressed me with his efficient work and helpful manner. He payed close attention to what I wanted in a website, and worked very hard to make it happen. Christian exceeded my expectations, and even taught me new things. Not only was he professional, but he was a pleasure to work with."

“Christian first interned with the Brooklyn Watercolor Society in the summer of 2010. His serious and professional approach made all the difference in helping to design phase one of the BWS website and also a postcard,flyers and banner for our fall art show. Due to his extraordinary abilities, BWS has hired him to design the postcard for our spring, 2011 show also. His work is dramatic, yet pleasing and elegant too!”
