Below, a collection of one-offs and why I love them.

IBM DOCUMENTARY SHORT FILM, “When neurodiversity works”

You know that scene in “Austin Powers” when Dr. Evil tells a therapist that his father “would make outrageous claims, like he ‘invented’ the question mark”? No? Well, this scene replayed in my mind during my IBM onboarding, wherein they made outrageous (and true) claims about inventing the bar code, the floppy disk, the golf ball typewriter.

I joined IBM because so much of the world was created by IBM, and I wanted to find and tell the world-changing stories. I got my chance. In an otherwise inconsequential meeting, I learned about the IGNITE Application Testing ASD program, wherein neurodiverse individuals were trained in app testing. I flagged the story to my team, pushed to tell it, and set the production up for success … just as I was leaving for a new role.

I knew it was going to be big, and I was right. This film won the Grand Prix and Chair Awards at the 2019 Drum B2B Awards, and Silver Distinction in STEM and Finalist in Accessibility honors at the 2019 Shorty Social Good Awards.

In the years since, I’ve had a kid. And I still wouldn’t have a white sofa.
