HOWDY!

Born on Justin Bieber's birthday, I grew up in Denver, CO: the nation's home to good tacos and mid-tier pizza. Raised by loving immigrant parents, my childhood was all about learning the ABCs of outdoor labor and embracing the art of getting your hands dirty - which is probably why I opted for college instead.

As a proud Latino, I wear my culture and family like a badge of honor,  I wouldn't be where I am now without them and homemade tamales (feel free to ask me about them during the holiday season). 

Since I was a ye lad, my interests have always involved working with my hands, from getting messy with ink pens to tinkering with an unreliable 4-cylinder 4B11T engine.

In my free time, I like designing the night away for my streetwear brand, Sons of Akina - catering to other car aficionados and anime addicts alike.

My ultimate dream? To collaborate with people who see advertising as the perfect fusion of creativity and chaos. I want to create content I’d proudly show off at cocktail parties.
