In the early 1990s, I served as a business analyst for a company that employed the revolutionary online collaboration tool, Lotus Notes. My role involved identifying the various ways in which individuals connect and assessing which of these connections could be facilitated online. I classified these forms of connection into two categories: measurable and immeasurable. The measurable connections were moved online, with the intention of freeing up more face-to-face time for those connections that could not be quantified. I late discovered this is described as Gestalt. 

As the Internet and Google began to rise, I shifted my focus to assisting struggling technology projects on the verge of failure. By replacing the project plan with a new format of connection, I was able to ensure that these projects were completed on time and within budget.

After that, I dedicated my efforts to helping young individuals with autism experience connection without anyone having to understand anyone else.

​

Because it has incredibly simple to connect by aligning our thinking to those we understand the most and reject those we don’t. It has reduce the degrees of separation between those we connect to, to the point we become one. The conditions for Gestalt are no longer present. So I provide experiences that challenge this trend, allowing everyone to tap into a Gestalt of connection.
