Creative Chaos
As editorial director of the ETC Press, I managed the comprehensive production cycle for Creative Chaos, handling everything from line editing and copyediting to overseeing design production while ensuring the project remained on budget and met deadlines. I developed a project management system to get input from multiple stakeholders while maintaining alignment with the broader brand identity of both the Entertainment Technology Center and Carnegie Mellon University
Creative Chaos explores the dynamic nature of collaborative design and development within interdisciplinary teams. The book examines how the Entertainment Technology Center at Carnegie Mellon University embraces the inherently complex process of creativity, providing insights from their research on the relationship between diversity, inclusion, and innovation. Through examples from their project-based curriculum, the book shares valuable best practices for supporting diverse teams and maximizing the potential of the creative process, offering readers practical strategies for harnessing the productive power of “creative chaos” in collaborative environments.
