Speed Dating is a series where we get to know some of our favorite brand evangelists, whether they’re artists, designers, entrepreneurs, activists, or full-time parents! Today in the hot seat is John Baptist (@johnthebaptistla), an L.A.-based designer and influencer.
“My Name is John Baptist. I’m 31 years old. I currently reside in Los Angeles where I moved over 9 years ago in pursuit of my dreams as a creative! In my spare time I like to plan upcoming trips, listen to music from my record collection, and eat pizza – lol!”
