Doug McNamara’s Biodiversions
By Doug McNamara
“I’m not a field scientist, discovering new and exciting creatures for the world to see. So one way I entertain myself is to invent an organism or process and then try to draw it convincingly so it makes sense.”—Doug McNamara
Doug McNamara is a business analyst living in Brooklyn with his wife, poet Amy McNamara, and their two children. He has been a Technology Operations Manager at Google since 2006.
