“I’d like to thank Amy for her One Team mentality. Amy organized and facilitated the GeekWeek Design Wars competition this year. I was anxious to participate as I do not have extensive knowledge in design but Amy broke down the goals for me and reassured that anyone was welcome to try it out and have fun along the way. Many other competitors made the same remarks that Amy was so supportive, available for questions, and gave great help and feedback that allowed everyone to have fun, learn, and stretch their design minds throughout the competition. A great teacher and support makes for a great place to learn and grow - thank you so much for the time and care your put into the competition, Amy!”
