I love writing in my notebook. Don't you?

I created a 3D tool for How To ADHD, a youtube channel dedicated to knowledge about and advice living with ADHD. Part of the channel's style is animated cartoons of their main character depicted as a brain. To suit their 2D workflow using AfterEffects, I created a 3D model for their new logo and made a utility that could render it out from any angle. .

Archive Stories is a website about how to work with creative and non-traditional archives. We wanted to create a space for conversations about archiving beyond institutional archives, to think through the possibilities that open up when we imagine the archive as expansive and as encompassing everything around us.

I hope these templates can be filled with your stories celebrating moments of joy, your histories and cultural practices, and your own experiences that can get passed down generations or act as a space for healing.
