Hi there! I’m Camille Favreau. I've always been drawn to other people's creations and have recently decided to experiment with creating things myself. After completing a business degree and working in finance for a few years, I am now working on the Creativity Everything Podcast, amongst other things.

David Gauntlett is Canada Research Chair in Creativity at the Faculty of Communication and Design, Ryerson University, Toronto, where he leads the Creativity Everything lab. He is the author of several books, including Making is Connecting (2018). He has worked with a number of the world’s leading creative organisations, including the BBC, Tate, and LEGO.

For this episode, David Gauntlett and I talk about why we started this podcast. Hope you enjoy it!
