Mapping Project


When I was an IT major we would make the flow charts to help us see how our databases should be connected. In my advertising department in my undergrad we would use flow charts to brainstorm. Flow charts have become something that I use regularly when trying to create something new, trying to remember the past, or trying to decide my future.

I used colored markers and wrote it by hand because I still feel like a little kid. I can’t seem to believe that I’m 27. In an age where “40 is the new 30” it is easy for me to stay childlike.

Green is education stuff. The one spot of red represents two very important bosses who have changed my life, both named Dick, and I worked for them at the same time. Blue is important events of my life.

The pink and purple are my “past” and “present/future” respectively. Pink is things that I associate with my undergrad and purple I have tied to my legal name change, my middle name changed to Katharine. My friends have always called me Kat and I decided to make it more official. I waited until after graduation with my BS because like a graduation ceremony changing my middle name was a ceremonial right of passage for me.
