Paul Orich was a high school art teacher for seventeen years. Then he decided to take a break and became a full-time insurance agent. After ten years of selling, he made a doodle on his notepad during a class in Omaha. Although drawn in a very short time, it made him realize that it was the first time after a decade that he had a pen on paper for something that wasn't a signature. It was also in the same year that his taxman told him he was among the working poor. It made him go back to teaching at a junior high school for thirteen years.
Since that day in Omaha, a doodle meant something special to him—an invitation to pause and to reconnect with himself using just a pen, some paper, and design elements of a dot, circle, lines, and spaces.
