Chase Airmet

As a member of the Long Beach i-team I had the opportunity and privilege to meet and work with talented, highly motivated and passionate people all who love where they live and want to make it a better place. This enthusiasm was contagious and instilled in me a sense of civic pride. I learned to collaborate with a group of people with very different skill sets then my own and work within the confines of a government. I learned how design can improve the brand of the city and how the design process can better the way cities research, develop and ideate solutions. We found as a team how to balance the needs and wants of the city employees and its citizens while striving to be data-driven versus politically minded. I had a great experience and have grown to love the people of Long Beach.
