My biggest work lessons learned

It should be you and your team against the problem, never against each other.

Creativity and craft need to work together to make magic happen.

Constructive feedback is a gift, not a curse.

People care when they're cared for.

Always uphold your integrity.

Go where you are valued.

Like what you see? Take the next step.

In my career I thought 'I've never wanted to get anywhere in particular.' I just wanted to work with interesting people on interesting projects.
