At 3reate, we have real conversations with creatives who aren’t afraid to be open and honest about their experiences. We are trying to break down barriers to cross disciplinary innovation, focusing on actionable outcomes; and how people go about doing.
We bring you weekly checkins and selected conversations roughly fortnightly; from folks across art, science, and technology. They’re folks you may not have heard of— because they’re too busy doing. 3reate will spark your curiosity as we seek to grow creativity to inspire novel innovation.
