Anything from craftsman to assembly line worker. Things get built in a lot of different ways. Some people put in or paint a few parts in a complex mechanism, others build objects from start to finish.

As a word that describes all of those things in broad terms, you could actually use the same word that's more commonly used for companies rather than individuals: manufacturer:
[Merriam-Webster]
: one that manufactures
// especially : an employer of workers in manufacturing
If you create products, then you are manufacturing them. You could be considered a manufacturer of those items.
But note that the dictionary definition itself stresses that the word is more commonly used for the employer of the workers, rather than for the workers themselves. (Even if applying it to an individual worker is, technically, correct.)
Rather than using the general term for an individual worker, we use a more specialized term that's based on the particular items being produced. If they make clothing, the workers are called tailors; if they make shoes, the workers are called cobblers; if they create books, the workers are called authors, and and so on.
Note, too, that I described each of the people as a worker, which could also be used if you want to emphasize the labour rather than the product:
[Merriam-Webster]
1 a : one that works especially at manual or industrial labor or with a particular material
// a factory worker
—often used in combination
b : a member of the working class
Again, however, this typically rules out people involved in something other than manual labour. So, as with the word manufacturer being an odd choice to describe an author, it would be strange to describe an author as a worker, even though they do actually work at producing books.
Other words (such as creator and producer) will have the same problem, although to an even greater degree. For the most part, we simply don't use an umbrella word that applies equally to all of the people creating all of the things that have been mentioned. Instead, the creator of each type of thing is described with their own specific word.
