These days, no one can truly create meaningful work alone, particularly when it comes to impact. But trusting others and their life experience and giving them room to play, experiment, and fail without risk leads to some amazing work and outcomes. The key to this is having a shared vision for what the outcome should be and enough flexibility to explore how it could be.

Teamwork facilitates a faster turnaround of design projects. With team members working in parallel, tasks can be tackled simultaneously, significantly reducing project timelines. This agility is especially valuable in a dynamic design landscape where quick adaptations and iterations are often necessary.

Ultimately, by emphasizing teamwork in a design studio, the studio can produce higher-quality work, meet tight deadlines, and stay competitive in the ever-evolving design industry.

Being around large groups of people can be stressful and tiring, and endless meaningless meetings are also unpleasant. Having all the responsibilities fall on your shoulders and the pressure of being alone is just as unpleasant.
