Artists Who Code with Catherine Ricafort and Scott McCreary

Catherine Ricafort and Scott McCreary are artists who have seen the top of their fields. And when they did, they saw how difficult of a life it was — even for the best of the best. So they made a change. And that change lead them to help others make similar changes. Catherine and Scott founded Artists Who Code — a volunteer-run organization whose mission is to empower artists through tech, and advance tech through artistry. They are a wife and husband team who first met as a-cappella competitors on NBC's The Sing-Off. The work that they are doing is so in-line with the Meaning Movement. They're doing anything they can to help artists make the big and often overwhelming transition to tech. It was a blast to dialogue with them. They're kind, open, and very thoughtful about all things work, art, and meaning related.
