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.

What happens when we stop teaching people how to make things?
On Crafting Human, next Wednesday, 1/28, join me for a fascinating conversation with Valerie Legras, Founder & Creative Director of SWADOH design studio, and Morgane Baroghel-Crucq, a French fibre artist and artisan. We are having a conversation about craft, independence, and what’s lost when knowledge isn’t passed down.
We reflect on the ideas of:
- Craft being intelligence made visible.
- Slowness is not inefficiency, but care and aligning with the natural rhythms of life.
- Objects, spaces, and rituals carry memory.
- Meaning emerges through process, not just output.
