In the summer of 2015, I was part of The Martin Agency's intern program, The Kitchen.

In order to introduce us to the rest of the agency, Martin hosted a mixer and asked us to individually create something that represented us to be displayed as a conversation starter. Since there were 7 of us (interns) and letters in KITCHEN we divided the letters and created an installation.

I had the letter "E" and filled it with doodles. Why an octopus? Because they are awesome and I thought it would look cool.

*I've doodled my way through every class, meeting and phone call over 45 seconds. My doodles have frustrated teachers, gotten me fired from jobs and impressed zero girls in high school.*

I enjoyed making that giant doodle so much I made another for my sister-in-law, Kate (K), for Christmas. It incorporated many of her favorite geek-themed characters (Wonder Woman, Buffy, Hermoine, Firefly, The Doctor, The Flash and more)
