Like a dude’s name, but for me.
When my parents named me Allyn, they thought one day having a guy’s name would give me a leg up in the corporate world. Joke’s on them, I went to art school. Now all it gets me is spam emails for Viagra.
When I’m not cleaning out my spam folder, I’m hanging out (“working”) with the lovely people at BBDO, trying (and succeeding) to make work that requires me to be on the beach and/or with cute dogs.
When I’m not working, I’m probably at the movies, drinking wine somewhere outside, or watching trashy reality TV.
