Atlas2017–2019

Rendering messy, project-based work legible to traditional standards through software

Developed a Mac application and associated workflows supporting storytelling around and evaluation of the complex, textured work that results from truly personal projects. The same way Amazon X-Ray provides a detailed look at every frame of a movie, Atlas aimed to demonstrate how technology and social rituals can work together to create detailed, structured documentation of learning.
