About the show
Creative Figures is a long-form interview show about how creative people actually live and work. One guest per episode — artists, designers, illustrators, writers, filmmakers, makers of every kind — and no hurry: the practice behind the portfolio, the decisions behind the career, the parts that never make the highlight reel. Between conversations, occasional solo episodes on craft and creative independence.
Filmed in full — watch at creativefigures.fm, or listen wherever you get your shows.
Hosted by Alen Kapetanovic.
