welcome!
Midwest born, and Filipino bred - I am a proud Asian American creative working in the ad world. I’m a lover of life and relish in solving a good problem. I like stories, pop culture and things powered by the internet. I fervently believe that culture is created in the comment section.
In my high school career class I gave a presentation about my, "Future Career as a Creative Director" and I'm still trying to live up to that PowerPoint presentation of future me.
