New York, NY
My Name is Bryant Castro. My ambition is strictly to make this world a well designed, interactive place with visuals on a computer screen.
I live, love and breathe art, design, and media. Having people experience quality pieces of art is the goal that drives me. I have a strong knowledge of design principles which helps me to break and make new rules. It is crucial for me to surround myself with inspirational people that can make audiences laugh, cry, listen, and think. I'm inspired by friends, enemies, and colleagues near and far. I'm a team player, very critical in trying to make things perfect whilst delivering high quality work in a timely manner.
Juggle multiple projects? Yes. Hard labor, intense concepting, and under a minute comps? Yes. Work overtime, weekends, and holidays? Yes. Throw it at me. I don't mind losing a little sleep for creativity. I have visions of where media can and will go. Nothing will stop me from achieving these goals. I absolutely love what I do.
Aside from the big stuff, I love to sew felt made toys, play bass and sing in bands, bake wondrous sweets, dance, and excite people. I draw as many things as I can, paint on everything, mold clay, shape paper, and create with anything I can get my hands on. Working with any medium is my passion. I have been in the design world for more than a decade, developing skills in digital and traditional graphic arts. I'll read, dream, and listen before touching one pixel. Ideas will always start with a pencil. I am a creative director.

Education
Associates of Science in Digital Media | Bachelors of Science in Business
Here I learned how to work and shape myself into Orangeglue, by learning how to work with others. I also learned about the business side of working as a freelancer. During this period, I took on loads of clients and many small ventures in business. Ultimately out of everything I've done, Orangeglue has been my focus for the last 10 years, and the venture has thrived.
Graphic Design and Film
High school? Yes, and a unique one at that. This is where I learned everything I know now. I was introduced to Photoshop 5 and hard-coding. I graduated with a boxful of sketchbooks and loads of ideas. This school taught me the importance of traditional art, the starting point to any design dream. I learned basic principles in layout, concept, and rich ideas that would be put on paper, woods, cardboard, or screens. This is where the seed was planted for what I am now.
