I’m Raymond, a 24-year-old based in Brooklyn.
After studying CS and econ at Brown and spending a few years in finance, I’m now all-in on building a life fueled by creativity, ownership, and meaningful work.
leap years is a slice-of-life newsletter I’ve written since Feb 2024. I like to share business updates, reflections, ideas in progress, and the occasional poem.
These days, most of my creative energy flows into Flores de Oro, my clothing brand. I’m figuring it out as I go, and through sharing my story, I hope to inspire others to start something of their own.
