Over the past couple of weeks we added two new folks to the Brandstack Team! They’re both working on a fun new projects hitting Brandstack in the coming months and helping build the designer community we started over a year ago.

To introduce the Brandstack world to Pablo, we asked him a few straight forward questions. Here are his answers:

Q: In less than 8 words: Where are you from? What do you enjoy? What do you want?
A. In less than eight words I… oh crap.

Q: So honestly, how annoyed are you by the music in the office?
A. You’re lucky I grew up in the 90s. Plus, there’s always headphones.

Q: Have you ever seen anyone taller than Ryan Kelly (@pearanalytics) in person… seriously?

A. Do NBA players count? No, right? Then, no. I’m actually in the process of hiring some Sherpas to lead an expedition to the peak of Mt. Kelly. If I don’t make it back alive, tell my kids I died doing what I loved.


Q: What’s the most embarrassing thing anyone’s ever said to you?

A. “Sir, we’re going to have to ask you to stop touching the cat there. And please pay for the Twizzlers or we’re calling the police.”

Q: If you had to call yourself a specialist in one thing, what would it be?

A. I’m really good at answering questionnaires.

Q: What was your favorite TV show of the 90’s?

A. I know the Simpsons started in the 80s, but the golden age was in the 90s. F**k Family Guy.

Q: What did you want to be when you “grew up”?

A. Well I’m still 5’4 so I’m still hoping that I’ll be a little bit taller, that I’ll be a baller and that I’ll have a girl who looks good (I will call her).

Q: What’s the one toy you wanted as a kid, but never got?

A. Mortimer Marker from Bill Cosby’s “Picture Pages” on PBS.  I swear nobody’s parents would spring for that thing.

Q: If you could be in a band, tv show or movie, which one would it be and why?

A. I’d rather be in a movie because they tend to survive the test of time better than tv shows or musicians. No joke. I really like movies.

Q: In your opinion, what more odd about our office? The balls for chairs or the funky artwork?

A. I think the balls are a bit more unusual. [Insert “That’s what she said” here.]

Q: If you could give yourself a nickname, what would it be?

A. “The Nickname”

Q: If you had the power to make one celebrity disappear, which one would it be?

A. Paris Hilton

Q: After working in a start-up, would you ever want to start your own?

A. I think it would be a noble endeavor, but I actually really like being a part of this office as it grows.

Q: Leave us with one quote that you live by.

A. “I will eat you alive.” -Radiohead
