Crafting Human™ Podcast
Crafting Human celebrates the creative brilliance of humans and the value of the soulful human touch expressed in the process of making, building and creating. Each week we have conversations with global creatives, makers, artisans, craftsmen, designers and storytellers, and we discuss how their work creates meaningful connections, distinctly shapes cultures and transforms communities & ecosystems. Crafting Human is a quiet resistance to the values of the industrial mindset that erode and devalue humans in the creative process. Through each guest's stories and creative expressions, we restore attention to what cannot be automated: the human hand, the human process, and the human story, which reflect our identity and values, and shape our experiences. We are reclaiming agency, the value of our humanity and the priceless beauty of the "slow" work made with intention and soul.

Introducing Crafting Human™ | Crafting Human In the Age of AI

As technology accelerates speed, scale, and efficiency, many of us are left asking deeper questions: what does it mean to be human in a world increasingly shaped by machines?
Hosted by designer and creative leader Sharon Yu, Crafting Human™ podcast celebrates the humans behind the work: the artists, makers, designers, craftsmen, and storytellers whose creativity shapes how we experience culture, community, and ourselves.
Each week, conversations go beyond output and aesthetics to explore the uniquely human perspectives, lived experiences, and creative processes that give depth and soul to what we make. We look at who we are beneath our professions, how creativity reflects our humanity, and why the human touch still matters.
Across each episode, we meet emerging artists and established creatives from around the world, going behind the scenes of their work to understand how meaning and purpose emerge through process and how creativity serves the communities around us.
We also explore the evolving role of technology and AI, not as a replacement for human creativity, but as a tool that reveals what we value, what we fear, and what we must remember.
Crafting Human™ is a space for reflection, curiosity, and connection and an invitation to rediscover the stories that make us, us.
New episodes every Wednesday.
