Josh Pham: Tooling as a Gateway to Creativity

Welcome to the third episode of Creative in Process!

Today’s episode features a uniquely knowledgeable guest: Josh Pham.

Josh is a lifelong tinkerer and creative who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and Vancouver, British Columbia. Josh studied computer science in Austin, Texas, and has been living in Cambridge, Massachusetts for the past few years. He's been fortunate to be immersed in the intersection between tech and creativity, as a career as well as in his side interests. Josh is passionate about his job: working on music recommendations at Spotify.  He can occasionally be found tweaking a photo or a misaligned brake on a friend’s bike.

Josh and I chat about what it’s like to work as a creative, lessons learned from dabbling across different projects, how to balance logistics with actually doing the creative thing, how to see AI as a tool that augments creativity–and much more.
