Works In Process
Arts & Culture Podcasts
To create something, anything, you need a method. You need an approach that works for you. But wouldn’t it also be nice to learn how others approach their creative process? Works in Process is a monthly podcast where I, Designer and Educator George Garrastegui Jr, have the conversations you wish you had. I talk to designers, artists, educators, and creators to find the Hows and Whys of their creative work. Then, through experiences and inspiration, my guests explore the techniques and observations that helped them to navigate their creative careers. Join me as I continue to research how creativity is fueled by inspiration, motivation, and most of all, process. Remember... It’s not always about what you do, but how you do it!
