When we started looking at ideas for our website, Richard Castañeda was referred to us by a relative. Richard listened as a professional would to understand what we were trying to construct and asked questions as a consumer might to help strengthen our focus. The first step in any journey is the most stressful, but with Richard’s help we jumped in and launched our site ideas. The most interesting page of our site is the Video tips that Richard shot and edited himself. It brought a very real and helpful aspect to our goals. Richard has our full confidence and trust, and we plan on retaining his website services.

Whether it was covering a heavy metal art show or writing an obituary, Richie always approached any assignment with enthusiasm, an open mind and the drive to present the truth; as a result, he consistently delivered quality work (and on deadline!). As I got to know him better when we worked together at the Sundial, it quickly became evident that Richie’s talent stems from the pride he takes in his work and the fact that he truly loves writing and learning. He’s genuine and an absolute pleasure to work with, and there is no doubt in my mind he will be a great asset to any publication.

Richard was extremely professional and friendly in covering an event for me in Campus Circle. His pre-interview research was thorough and took some amazing photos. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Richard again in hopes that he will cover future Rephlektor events!
