Who dat boy? Who him is?

Nick Bakshi is an internationally-awarded, American, Creative Director currently living and working in Paris. In his career, he's had the opportunity to work at some of the best agencies in the US, France, and Italy on clients like Coca-Cola, Heineken, Duolingo, Netflix, and Citroen. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way, he picked up this terrible habit of speaking about himself in the 3rd person.
