If you are really passionate you will eventually bump into people who are also really good at it. Example: I was very passionate about photography and ended up invited to a group show, met other photographers. I was very passionate about coding and ended up meeting coders who were just as good as me at work. Your passion will attract other passionate people.

My advice: work towards that passion and it will attract others. Just be ready to meet some very very talented people and see them as a collaborator not a competitor. When you collaborate with other passionate people (everyone contributes what they're best at) it will attract even more talented people, because then people will know you're both passionate and easy to work with.

Lastly: Never be afraid to reach out to people, I couldn't find anyone who was as crazy about design as this one legendary guy who I looked up to like he was jesus. I ended up writing him an email and he invited me to have coffee at his house, something that never would have happened if I hadn't worked up the courage to reach out.
