Questionaire
Why did you get involved in this project?
Ever since I started university, I’ve developed a fondness for collaborating with other people, especially from different disciplines. Sharing your skills to create a product or experience that is one of a kind! This project reminded me of that experience.
Did the one week turn-around for the work help or hinder your creativity?
I was only involved with the first step, so I applaud my group mates for meeting the one week turn-around time.
How did you feel about working on a project where you didn’t know who you were collaborating with?
I liked how there was an element of surprise. There was no plan or end goal shared in the group. We just passed on an element and slowly ideas were attached one by one. I was excited to see the one-of-a-kind creation at the end.
Has being involved in the project changed your thoughts on creativity?
Yes, it opened up a new way of thinking. I loved the concept of this project! I’m a planner, and through this project I learned that sometimes going with the flow and just letting it be can be beautiful.
