EP 005 How is creativity related to craft?

A Design Mentor

23-11-2024 • 9 mins

Have you ever wondered what creativity actually means? In this episode, I explore the true essence of creativity beyond the traditional definitions tied to art and design. I share how my own struggles with “feeling creative” early in my career shaped my understanding of creativity as an ability we all possess—not a magical talent reserved for a few.Through personal stories, I discuss the role of exposure, experience, and craftsmanship in nurturing creativity. It’s not about being the best; it’s about surpassing your past self.
