In 2018 I was eagerly awaiting the penultimate installment of MCU’s Phase 3 when i decided to refresh my memory. Little did I know what I was starting. Over two years I embarked on the Icarian attempt to track down the entire known history of the infinity Stones to prepare for Infinity War and Endgame. It snowballed into a passion project and an exploration of ways to share and visualize research and data I have maintained over the years. It is an ever-evolving project, with more information coming out with each new installment in the MCU. Most recently, I created an infographic and narrated video. I’m very proud of this, as it is unlike anything I have done before!

The original timeline was this 12-foot long, taped together, paper monstrosity (above) that I completed before Infinity War. I walked into that theater hubristically, confident in my research. But when they said the words “time heist”, i felt my soul leave my body. It had to be updated (below).

I’ve always loved lists and organizing information. I’m a visual learner so giant matrices and timelines like this are how i wrangle large datasets and complicated ideas. But I’m also a big nerd, so often these tendencies manifest into things like this. And I love it.
