Our Legacy

Our first week at Railyard started off in an instant as we got working on our legacy project right away. Utilizing a modified and expedited Google sprint methodology, we developed an idea in one jam-packed day!

From journey mapping to sketching and from developing   to implementing, we created this legacy project to physically embody our experience at Railyard and allow future cohorts to do the same. Inside each rail, each cohort is tasked to put something that captures their experience at Dossier. In our rail, we put a number of slats of wood that contain advice and thoughts from this year that can be read by future cohorts! We hope that our insight and memories of this year is good reading for 2017 and beyond! Soon it will be their job to capture their experience in this makeshift time capsule in a fun and creative way!
