Spent a few days in San Francisco with Faith celebrating 5 years together, and her 24th birthday! 🌁❤️ Got to shoot a ton of film 🎞️
Recents, on Film 🎞️ After a fun summer in Chicago I am back in MN. Just started working at BBDO MW as a Jr. Art Director 🥳
Chicago has been amazing so far. Officially 2 weeks into my internship, and so happy @faith.wlaschin could come down and visit for my birthday. Excited for the rest of the summer!
Spring Break in AZ 🌅
Missing my MPMS friends and NYC 🫶🗽
Last week I had the opportunity of a lifetime. To visit New York City, and be apart of the @aafnational Most Promising Multicultural Student Class for 2024! I was ecstatic to be recognized among the top 50 multicultural students in the country. I am so glad to have left with 49 new friends, that I cannot wait to watch flourish. From visiting @tiktok @sonymusic @linkedin and so many more incredible places, this week was unforgettable. To the brands and people that made this possible, thank you! And to the MPMS class of 2024, I cannot wait to see what we accomplish! 🥳 🫶 #mpms2024 #teamhachiko
