CatalogIt is a cloud-based mobile and desktop application designed for documenting things, recording where they came from, who made them, where and when, what they were made of and how, what they were used for and by whom, and how they came to be yours- the stories of things. CatalogIt provides private collectors, artists, art dealers, museums, and community cultural centers with a comprehensive, easy to use, yet powerful system for cataloging, managing and engaging with their collections. As one of the founders of CatalogIt, I'm responsible for the app's content as well as client development and corporate operations.
