Working with so many other creative people is my jam. Loved it.
I loved how people that have never worked together before, with different personalities, working styles and contexts came together and worked so well towards a common goal. I think 2 important variables played a role: we had a common goal that we actively signed up for (volunteered) and we had respect for each other.
I loved problem solving with a culturally diverse group. It was fun to work on a problem that I had experienced myself....It was exciting to be involved in something that will be considered for tangible change.
