The Other Side: Christopher Vega

I had the honor of sitting down and chatting with Christopher Vega last month. He was recently named on the 4A's list of 100 People Who Make Advertising Great. Chris is also the founder of The Concepting Class aimed to help minorities start a portfolio and get into the advertising industry. Oh and how could I forget that Chris also has won the Young Innovator Award! Take a look at his thoughtful words below.

I am super excited to share our lovely chat with you.
