Alex Castrillo Creative Website Design & Development
Interactive portfolio site for creative director Alex Castrillo, designed and built to elevate his brand and work.
Project Overview
I collaborated with creative director Alex Castrillo to bring his portfolio vision to life on WordPress. Alex provided design mockups and animation references, and I translated those into a live site by managing the build process, coordinating development, and implementing content updates.
Developer Gio Denegri handled the custom coding, while I led project management and continue to provide maintenance and content refreshes. One highlight: converting static presentations into animated sliders and videos to showcase Alex’s work in a more dynamic, engaging way.
My Role
Tools: WordPress, Keynote, Quicktime, HTML/CSS, jQuery
Responsibilities:
- Project management & client communication
- Developer coordination
- Site build & content population
- Multimedia conversion (slides to video)
- Ongoing updates & optimizations
Behind the Scenes
Alex’s initial designs and motion references set the tone for a modern, cinematic experience. We worked collaboratively to translate those ideas into an interactive front-end that feels light but polished. Subtle parallax, timed transitions, and clean whitespace all contribute to the overall feel.
