The Creative Process

While riding home on the subway listening to a TED Radio Hour podcast called The Person You Become I found an interesting individual named Kaustav Dey.

The discussion here was “The Creative Process”. A panel of artists sat down to discuss their unique process. In this discussion what the creative process is and why the creative process is important were a few topics they tapped into.
