What makes Minicrew unique?
At the heart of the Minicrew art, stories, characters, and everything else is one central question. What would your life look like if you took a step every day believing that your unique talent could make a difference? Within that amazing question, each Minicrew character is here to inspire, uplift, and guide with their values. Ultimately we hope that Minicrew inspires you to see yourself as an innovator and change-agent, rather than a passive "consumer" in life, and that we share a laugh along the way!
Our goals for you..
- Live a life of innovation: Encourage creative problem solving and everyday innovation, big and small.
- Learn professional methods: Learn how to apply "Design Thinking" to problem areas of your life.
- Build creative habits: Inspire you to journal, sketch, and reflect more on what's happening in the world around you.
- Encourage healthy teamwork: Foster independent thinking yet positive collaboration with others.
- Think like a producer: Learn to appreciate what's in your hands, so you can make a difference, rather than being a passive "consumer" in life.
