Where I come from

See more

I grew up in Orange County, California, in a Mexican and Afghan family, two cultures, two languages of food and music and humor, and one household that taught me early that there’s always more than one way to see things.

I’m a marketer who likes understanding people, what catches their attention and why some brands stick.
