Working on something meaningful is a common desire – but how? We started asking folks to share the story of how they ended up working on a project they felt was meaningful because we wanted inspiration but also because we wondered if hearing from people from across a range of industries would help us identify patterns making it more likely for anyone to be able to find and work on projects that they would find meaningful.

One of the most meaningful projects I’ve worked on is Spectrum, a noise-canceling headphone designed for individuals with autism. This project stands out to me because it wasn’t just about designing a product—it was about addressing a real-world challenge and creating something that could truly improve lives. Read more>>

“We are the stray dogs of this lonely city.”
This project is my attempt to infiltrate and document the intimate narratives of an Asian queer community in London using a Polaroid camera.
I have always struggled with a sense of belonging. In the summer of 2023, I found myself drifting through London, constantly changing living arrangements while carrying my Polaroid camera. I spent a week living on a boat, calling myself “Captain Jiji,” tried sleeping on a park bench, and even stayed in a derelict mansion bought at auction. Read more>>

In 2012, I created an art installation called Gallery 206—a phone booth transformed into a fully immersive gallery space. I stripped it down and reimagined it as an exhibition site, where each of the plexiglass windows was handed over to a different artist to create their own work directly on the panels. The overhead light was converted into a striking illuminated installation, adding another dimension to the experience. Read more>>

One of the most meaningful projects I’ve worked on recently has been an original song that I created with some of my best friends. Inspired by my deep love for disco and funk—I wanted to produce something fun and groove-heavy to mark my return debut as an artist. But beyond just making a song, I had the opportunity to collaborate with the incredibly talented people in my life, and that’s what truly made this experience so special. Read more>>

I think the most meaningful story to me that I’ve worked on so far was my Short documentary; Away from the Fields which was all about embracing the gift of dual identity that has been given to children of the Black diaspora. It portrays the comfort and contentment we find in each other whenever we feel too far from home. Read more>>

A meaningful project of my recent career was a painting I made of two fishmongers I saw in Galway, Ireland. I attended the Burren College of Art for the spring semester of 2024. The school was located just south of Galway Bay. Every other weekend we would take the hour-long bus ride into the city to explore, restock on art supplies, and eat good food. There was a market set up in the morning every Saturday in the square selling ceramics, honey, knit goods, foods from all over the world, and fresh fish. These two charismatic fishmongers caught my eye. I asked them if I could take their photo and they were more than happy to show off their catch. Handling the fish, they moved with care and respect, letting the crowd see the details of the fish up close, stacks of meat, fish on ice, blood, and bone. Read more>>

I started my “We Are Loud Women” series after this past election. I have always been very proud to be a loud woman with many opinions and I was super heartbroken by the election results. I started to think about all the ways women would be impacted, whether it would be through our reproductive health, our rights, deportations and so many more. This prompted me to start this series. I wanted to do everything I can to uplift women’s voices in a time where we were going to be suppressed by the incoming administration. While my project is new, I have already started to feel the impact of these super important conversations. Hearing about the most important women in a persons life, how societal standards have affected them, how different cultures treat women and how many similarities we all really have, regardless of our backgrounds.

My most meaningful project was a group of work that I created for a hotel in Savannah, Ga called Saint Bibiana. I went to college at Savannah College of Art and Design so the city of Savannah has a special place in my heart. I studied painting while I was there and fell in love with the process of making art. I grew up painting, drawing, and making anything I could so it felt natural to pick a major that felt deeply specific to what I love. I didn’t really know going into my major what I wanted to paint but I know I needed to create. I gained a deep connection specifically to the subject of chairs while studying abroad in Lacoste, France. While there I drew studies of chairs and realized that I could draw a million chairs and never get tired of it. Chairs represent people, a time and place, a story. Read more>>
Paul Stroessner
One of the most meaningful projects I’ve worked on is ‘Journey of the Rhode Runner’. While my first project, ‘Return to the ’80s’, rekindled my passion for writing and launched my first podcast, Journey of the Rhode Runner became something much bigger—it gave my running a purpose beyond personal goals. Through this project, I bring attention to charities, using my travels and races to highlight causes that matter. It has also allowed me to connect with people in different parts of the country, experiencing communities I might not have otherwise visited. Read more>>

Before taking a year off from teaching, I realized how much I wanted to take my art beyond just a hobby. I wanted to create work with meaning and share it with others—not just my creations, but the stories of the incredible people I’ve met along the way. When I first started the project, I thought it was about their experiences, but as I moved forward, I found it was just as much about my own journey. It has been therapeutic to embrace vulnerability in each piece while reconnecting with others and capturing their little slices of life. Read more>>

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on was one that may not be my best work
now, since it is a few years removed, but has reminded me why I do what I
do and why it matters. My University Senior Thesis Film “IcebHerg” highlights the
intricacies and heartbreaking reality of coming out as Queer. At the time, I had
recently come out as Queer and wanted to do something that
represented me. When I brought the idea up to my school directors for approval,
they said my film was only the second or third film to highlight queer culture. Read more>>

One of the most meaningful projects I’ve worked on involved creating a custom piece for a client in memory of her late cat. This experience was particularly significant to me because it allowed me to help someone honor and cherish the memory of a beloved pet.
Context: A client approached me with the desire to create a personalized item that would serve as a tribute to her recently deceased cat. Understanding the deep bond between pet owners and their animals, I recognized the importance of this project and was committed to delivering something truly special. Read more>>

I sing in an a cappella group at Middlebury College called the Dissipated Eight. It is an all-male vocal group that was founded in 1952 and continues to perform and record today. In 2023, the group decided to set our sights on the studio to record our 26th studio album: “Careful, Now.” I reached out to friends of mine in the music industry and the professional a cappella world and planned the record from the ground up. I organized finances, flights, lodging, and contracted our engineer, producer, and mixer. The group flew from Middlebury, Vermont to Nashville, Tennessee and spent 5 days in the studio recording our most recent body of work: a four song EP titled “Careful, Now.” Read more>>

I have been competing in the Miss America Organization since the
age of 13 and I quickly realized that this organization would open doors for opportunities that I never thought I would have. Through my involvement with this program I have created my own platform called “Active Life, Healthy Mind” where I have the privilege of educating the younger generation on the benefits that staying active can have on wholistic health. I am a competitive and classical dancer and have been dancing since I was 18 months old. Through my time as an athlete, I have experienced first-hand the benefits that active living can have on mental health. Read more>>

If I had to choose one project, it would be my thesis film from my MFA Filmmaking program at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles. The film, The Paradigm, was ambitious for a low-budget production, but it aimed to explore themes that remain highly relevant today, artificial intelligence, the role of synthetic beings in society, and the balance between technological advancement and human emotional conditions.

In 2024, I, Slimoe, took a step back from everything to focus on creating something truly meaningful—my album, Joyful Energy. This project wouldn’t have been possible without the pivotal conversation I had with my dad at the start of the year. His words opened my mind and heart, giving me the clarity and motivation to embrace a new perspective. He became the narrator for the entire album, and in many ways, I was running on his energy throughout the whole creative process. Alongside my producers and friends, I flew out to California to bring this vision to life. On November 11, 2024, I released Joyful Energy in New York City. The album is more than just music; it’s a reflection of growth, positivity, and the powerful connection between family and artistry. Read more>>

I love all of my projects, but the ones that mean the most to me are the drawings I’ve done for people who have lost their pets. There’s something special about being able to give them a way to remember their beloved animals, especially when I can capture the little details that made their pet unique like the expression in their eyes.

The most meaningful project is the one I joined in 2022 and am still a part of currently. In the summer of 2022 I started DJing for the South Loop Farmers Market in Chicago, IL. The first couple of years I would DJ for the market a handful times during their summer market season.
The following year I began DJing at the Hyde Park Farmers Market here in Chicago, during their summer market season. At the start of 2024 I became the resident DJ for the South Loop Farmers Market first indoor winter market season. Read more>>

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on is a handwritten font design based on my mother’s handwriting. As I’ve grown older, I’ve realized how much influence my family, especially my mother, has had on my work and approach to design, even though at first I didn’t recognize it. By all conventional standards, she is a homemaker with little formal education in design, and her aesthetic sense is not particularly strong compared to others. Yet, her approach to tasks and her attitude towards life have undeniably shaped the way I approach design and problem-solving. Read more>>

One of the most meaningful projects I’ve worked on is the Fashion Research Library, a digital archive exploring the intersection of typography, design, and fashion history. As a fashion lover, I’ve always been fascinated by how visual culture shapes our understanding of style, from the elegant serif lettering of vintage couture advertisements to the bold, experimental type in contemporary fashion branding. This project allowed me to translate that passion into a dynamic research tool, curating historical references while integrating modern digital design elements. Read more>>
Miguel Lopez De Leon
As an actor and filmmaker, the most meaningful project I’ve worked on, and am currently filming, is my second feature film “Bellow.” Bellow is a thriller about an exhausted man who is trying to survive a relentless haunting by a supernatural entity. This film is very special to me for so many reasons, but mostly because it is a summation of all the lessons I’ve learned from all the film projects I’ve completed so far. As of now, I’ve directed, acted and written fourteen short films and one feature film, and have learned so much from those experiences. Everything from setting up shots, lighting, editing, ADR, pacing, character arc and story structure have been such valuable lessons that I am now incorporating into my second feature film.

When I was in elementary school, a librarian handed me a book about a young poet. Something about this person’s story touched me deeply and I never forgot it.
Years later, as a teenager taking illustration classes at Moore College of Art and Design, I met a young poet who reminded me of the poet in that book I read as a child. We vowed to each other that when we grew up, we would collaborate on a children’s book about that poet whose name was Phillis Wheatley, the first African author to have a book published in America.

In 2022 I decided that it was time to start producing my own work. I was auditioning plenty but not booking much, and I started to get that itchy, artistic feeling that means I need to express something.
I began with “The Firebird.” I have always loved Stravinsky’s ballet of the same name, but the Firebird is only ever played by a woman. So I choreographed myself an aerial straps piece to the finale of the ballet, commissioned a costume, and filmed it in Las Vegas. I was shocked when, months after I released it, people commented that watching me create that piece had inspired them to make their own. Not only that, but it got my foot in the door to play Tarzan at Moonlight Amphitheater in 2023. It became clear to me that creating my own work was more effective than auditioning for getting my work out into the world. Read more>>

It’s hard for me to narrow down the “most” meaningful experience, but I can I tell you a bit about something that certainly is memorable and very worthwhile to me. A few years ago, I was contacted by the film school department of a college to help out some students with their final exam– which was composing and adding music to their final project, a 15-20 min silent film. To level the playing field, I was asked to play music for everyone’s projects– which was only a handful of students– but allowed me to meet and pick the brains of each of the aspiring filmmakers’ ideas behind their films and try to develop accompanying music that fit the vibe.

You know, it’s so difficult to label any one project or experience as the “most meaningful” but I do think that the project that has been really pivotal in helping me to embrace my multi-hyphenate artistic identity was the We Are Actors’ A Night of One Acts in April 2023.
So, if we back it up, this all was ultimately possible because of my sweet friend Brie Covington. I get an email from her in March 2023 with a forwarded attachment about this festival seeking submissions and a “Would you be interested in this?” Read more>>

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on recently is a concept called “Self-Doubt,” created and designed by artist Zoe Juang. She visualized the experience of self-doubt as a physical maze, with different sections representing the stages of slowly being overwhelmed by the feeling of questioning one’s worth.
Interestingly, I initially lacked confidence in taking on this project, as I had very little experience scoring for visuals and live installations. However, this uncertainty became the very reason I decided to embrace the challenge. I wanted to prove to myself that self-doubt and fear are just constructs in my mind. Once I completed a few tracks and received approval from the artist, it felt like a significant breakthrough. Read more>>

In taking on any task I tend to separate myself with intent and encouragement to solve said problem instead of dwelling on the difficulty of the task. So when it comes to a meaningful task there is a passion that develops like this project
I’m currently working on. The name of this concept is called VillaKitchenhtx developed by myself and my two business partners Mr. Mccoy and Mr. Gales. In meeting at a once club turned food hall gallery we all spoke of our backgrounds from us all sharing different phases of the culinary arts and hospitality.Once we worked out the logistics of wanting to prepare not only a good product, meal, or service. But and experience that creates lasting moments that get captured in time like a photograph. Read more>>

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on is “I Sometimes Feel Alone in the Crowd”, a photography series capturing moments from the overlooked towns that quietly endure outside the glow of Los Angeles. The photos in this project were taken in small towns across California, each image exploring the bittersweet dance between isolation and community. Read more>>

We’re thrilled to present Echoes of Time, a musical that celebrates the rich tapestry of cultures that shape our world through music and dance. This project takes you on a journey to the heart of folklore from the cultures that have influenced our lives and community. A decade in the making, Echoes of Time is now ready to be shared with the world, with the hope of becoming a ticketed show that everyone can experience and enjoy. Read more>>

My most meaningful project, so far, has been my recent short film “A Gaping Wound, A Grinning Mouth”. It’s a surreal horror film that follows an actress whose entire life has been transformed into a stage play, with a masked audience following her every move. It’s a weird, goopy, and tragic little film that I spent the better part of a year working on. It is a representation of all my anxieties and worries as an aspiring artist. A visual manifestation of the eyes (of my own creation) that I feel following my every move and judging my every choice. Sometimes I feel like I’m an actor in a production of my own life, going through what feels like the choices expected of me by my audience. As if I am making choices because that’s what people expect me to do. That’s what ‘artists’ do, so I must do it. It is a constant and overwhelming weight, and this film was an attempt to perform a sort of ‘exorcism’. Read more>>

Self-producing my first full length play, Arizona Rain, has been the most meaningful project I have worked on not just because of the doors it opened, but also because of its deeply personal subject matter. Arizona Rain focuses on Crissy, an introspective, indecisive young adult who, after surviving a near-death experience involving gun violence, drives thirteen hours to escape the incident. She arrives unannounced at the doorstep of her ex-girlfriend, Marcy, seeking comfort and solutions to all her problems. The play explores Crissy’s emotional rollercoaster as she grapples with the fear of what might have remained unsaid had she died. Marcy, unwilling to let Crissy stew in these emotions, pushes them both to confront their pasts and tie up loose ends in their complex, love-filled relationship. This story is rooted in true events from my own life. Read more>>

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on is my current book series I’m drafting. It’s a kids series focusing on genres like steampunk, aetherpunk, etc. I’m intending it to be a punk primer series that explores some social and political issues in a kid friendly way for 2nd to 4th grade readers.

A little backstory about me: I’ve only recently started embracing the title of emerging artist. For years, I knew I was an artist, but I wasn’t sure what I wanted to share or what my role could be. I spent multiple years assisting some of Toronto’s best talents, like Jorian Charlton and Oluseye—please check out their work. Both have been incredibly encouraging and instrumental in pushing me to forge my own path and develop my artistic voice as well as continuing to put Toronto on the map. Read more>>

I think the most meaningful project I worked on was my punch needle art show at a local Chinatown coffee shop called ArtBean Coffee Roaster. It was a solo art show held back in 2023 October. I was very fortunate to have this opportunity to experiment my art creation using yarn as a material. My theme for the show was about celebrating life and death through the threads of yarns with beautiful vibrant colors. The art pieces I made are several punch needle designs with the skulls, color beads, felt balls, embroidered details, and some animal graphics. I want to connect people with their inner soul using my colorful and comforting artworks. Read more>>

In 2023, I applied to participate as an instrumentalist in a musical residency organized by the grammy-winning contemporary classical ensemble 8th Blackbird called the Creative Lab. They only accepted about 10 performers and luckily I was one of them. This experience has been deeply transformative in the way I view my role as an artist, the boundless possibilities of music and its extraordinary ability to connect with people’s innermost selves.

I feel like every new project is meaningful to me, because i vent through my music. I don’t like therapy cause i just feel judged talking to someone face to face, so i use music as an outlet. I always have since i was a kid, But the album I am currently working on, is called “Part of the Process.” It is an album about trying to heal from chilhood traumas, what happens sometimes when those truamas are confronted and how people may react to the situation which is not how some would hope it would go. Part of the Process, is about the process someone may go through while trying to heal on so many different areas, dealing with negative people, trying to process everything i have learned, how do i move forward and not let something keep me in such a dark spot. How do i find happiness or love in myself. I really hope it just helps myself and maybe others find hope in healing and know, you’re not alone; Read more>>

By far, the most meaningful project I have ever worked on was publishing my memoir All But Six. I had always joked about writing a book about my father, but after he passed away the events of death haunted me. You could say I suffered from PTSD for about a year. I couldn’t stand the thought of this giant character being forgotten. I hope my book will help others heal, and through my stories his life lessons will live on. Read more>>

One of the most meaningful projects that I have worked on is the new learning program, The Mystic’s Journey, being offered through Astarte’s Temple.
When I first began my esoteric wisdom journey I had no idea what I was in for but it ultimately led me to the discovery of who I am today. Through The Mystic’s Journey, my heart is to help people who have deconstructed from modern religion and are pursuing alternative spiritual paths to have the tools and resources needed to find their way.

Seraphim (2023) was one of the most meaningful projects I’ve worked on, because it truly started my journey as a serious editor and has helped me grow in countless ways. I remember reaching out to the director Oscar Ramos about wanting to edit the film because I was intrigued by the script, and after our first meeting, it was clear to me that we liked a lot of the same movies. Even though Oscar pitched the script as a horror/drama film, I remember telling Oscar to approach one of the scenes like a heist film, and I think that stuck with him after our meeting and prompted him to hire me.

From summer to autumn and into winter, I brought to life something truly special—Oraculum, an immersive exhibition in Mexico City during Art Week, as part of Zona Maco. The idea was to create a sensory experience, a portal into a parallel world—just like the mythical oracle, that sacred and enigmatic space within the Temple of Apollo. Read more>>

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on recently was my first cycle film as a director at AFI. It was an experience that taught me the importance of preparation, adaptability, and collaboration. While the final film was praised for its acting and visual tone—achieved through careful lighting and production design—the process revealed key areas for growth. Read more>>

Early last year, I was asked to direct Music Theater Heritage’s production of “Little Women” (music by Jason Howland, lyrics by Mindi Dickstein, book by Allan Knee), and it has been an exciting journey preparing for this production. I always love assembling the design teams, the musicians, the performers, and this project was no exception; Every addition to the team felt like a huge win. All Kansas City local designers: Gabrielle Roney to Scenic Design, Daniella Toscano to Costume Design, Shelbi Arndt to Lighting Design, and Molly Denninghoff on board to play the lead, Jo – all women I admire and feel creatively inspired by. Pre-production was months of conversations, and my own journaling and marking down what concepts and visions felt right – or not right! Most of my process, in all art forms, is to give myself something to edit – just start, put something down. Read more>>

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on is creating the queer nightlife party called “Slut Pop” in Philadelphia.
Slut Pop Philly is a dance party aiming to create safe spaces for queer people, queer women, and trans women in particular. Created by queer DJ OUTERGRACE, the party pulls inspiration from pop/club music icons such as Kim Petras, Charli xcx, Sophie, Cobrah, etc. Read more>>

Getting to reflect on not only my father’s death, but the larger cultural circumstances of my youth and the discrepancies between my peers and I, in a large well renown news publication almost exclusively read by those peer’s parents was such a profound delight. Having the proper means to really reflect on my father and those childhood memories in a largescale way and be able to retell the stories and observations I’d been parroting to anyone who’d listen to for years to the largest scale audience of my career at that point felt like the most perfect full circle moment.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Edgar Allan Poe. His gothic style and complex characters inspired me to reimagine his stories with a queer lens. In 2020, I began publishing with 4 Horsemen Publications, and my first project was The Fall of the House of Otter, a steamy romance inspired by The Fall of the House of Usher. It tells the story of a young man named Alexander, exploring themes of isolation and longing with just a touch of dark humor. Read more>>

Most recently, I was asked to host the 2025 Prevagen United States Figure Skating Championships in January 2025 in Wichita. I spent over a decade training as a competitive figure skater in Cleveland, Ohio, and toured the world as a professional skater for Disney On Ice. After stepping away from professional performance, I became a full time skating coach, choreographer, and director in Cleveland and then Washington, D.C. It was such an honor to be invited to host at the top skating competition in our country and felt like such a full circle moment for me to have my skating and hosting worlds overlap. Read more>>

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on is my memoir called IF YOU WERE MY DAUGHTER which will release on March 18, 2025. I’m a longtime children’s author and this is my first work of non-fiction so it was a unique challenge to figure out my theme, story arc, chapters, as well as where to begin and end. It is one of the biggest creative challenges I have taken on and it’s taken me nearly 12 years to complete! My memoir is the story behind all my children’s books, the why behind my life’s work.

Every morning I wake up and last a few seconds looking at the ceiling, with my eyes lost I only look towards the past, at that moment I think what would be of my life if I hadn’t made the decisions I made in recent years, decisions that led me to a path that not even in dreams I thought I was going to reach, automatically all that gives me an impulse and a strength that motivates me to continue doing what I do, that motivates me to make many more people understand how important it is to take care of their health, and reading this question I think that The most important significant project is myself. I feel that I can be an inspiration for many more people who were like me in my past. Read more>>

We have recently produced a 1-hour show in support of Kids Help Phone. We were able to visit the local school and introduce Kids Help Phone’s services to grade 7 and 8 students by showing them some of Kids Help Phone’s videos, and then playing our original songs that relate to self-confidence, peer pressure, bullying, and healthy relationships. The staff and students responded very positively, saying that it was great to hear the personal stories behind the songs, and great to learn how Kids Help Phone can help them with their challenges.

Personally, the most meaningful project for me was working with NBA Canada. I have been passionate about the game of Basketball since I was 11 years old. The opportunity came from an ad on the NBA Canada website, I sent in an application, not having much of a resume or credentials to bulk up the application, I felt like my chances were slim. Sure enough, a month later, I received an email and had to pinch myself and google search the names in the email to make sure this was not a scam. It shows how much of a dream my reality had now become. I would be proud to let 11 year old me (who would probably be shooting hoops outside his house on Red Pheasant First Nation reserve) know that he eventually gets to sign an NBA contract in his future.

Mary Obilana
One of the most meaningful projects Mary Obilana has worked on is my philanthropic work through the Mary O Foundation, particularly her efforts in supporting underserved communities and the homeless population.
The Backstory
Mary’s passion for helping others stems from her deep-rooted belief in the power of Christ, love and compassion. Having witnessed firsthand the struggles of those in need, she felt a calling to take action. Instead of just offering short-term relief, she sought to create long-term solutions by providing food, clothing, mentorship, and empowerment programs. Read more>>
