Dylan | CSO
“As Chief Security Officer around Venture. My approach is more ‘quiet observation’ than ‘active enforcement.’ I spend most of my day supervising meetings from the nearest comfy spot, monitoring snack activity, and greeting visitors like they already work here. If a security issue ever does arise, I’ll handle it with pure intimidation… and an unwavering wag of my tail.“
Maizy | Intern Emeritus
“With a strong sense of smell, and a warm heart, I have always loved coming to work each day. I love helping the firm by watching squirrels, greeting the blue mail people, and sitting on top of peoples feet in the winter… all the things that make a professional life like mine worth living.”
Dolly | Intern Emeritus
“While I find architecture of the 20th century to have been highly didactic, today’s major architectural works are more pedantic in their outcome, which is why my works’ core goals aim to capture the ethereal nature of spatial permanence in a way that still manages to unify itself with the simple, plain-spoken, short-lived, and common souls trudging through the modern, albeit muddled society of the early 21st century.”
