Somehow I Manage
Because corporate chaos deserves cute commentary, from the break room to the boardroom.
The Office meets Severance, Kawaii style.
Hello, I'm glad you're here!
Welcome to somehow-i-manage.com, where corporate chaos meets pop culture commentary, with a Kawaii twist. Drawing on 20+ years in the workplace, I share stories, reflections, Kawaii stickers, and a few existential laughs. All using storylines from both The Office and Severance. When world's collide...come for the sarcasm. Stay for the stickers. Both will speak to your innie and your outie.

Real thoughts from someone working in corporate America and lived to write about it. Here, I explore the weird in-between of identity and office culture, from Dunder Mifflin to Lumon. Expect sarcasm, a little side-eye, and a lot of "why is this my life?"
Working From Home

Sticker Shop
These are my original drawings (using my iPad & Procreate) turned into Kawaii-style stickers inspired by The Office and Severance. If you’re a fan of either one, there’s something here with your name on it.
