BOOKS
Winner of a 2021 Silver Nautilus Award
for Creativity and Innovation Welcome to the Syncreate experience, your guide to navigating the creative process. Syncreate is both a noun and a verb; it’s about the synergy of co-creation; it embodies the spirit of collaboration. We’re excited that you’re taking this journey with us. Based on our own experiences as artists, educators, and coaches, we felt inspired to write a book to help others understand and have better facility with the process. We’ve spent many years researching, discussing, and thinking through the creative process, and developed a framework for moving through it from ideation to completion, from inspiration to finished product. We hope it will help get your artistic juices flowing. Think of it as an approach to creative project management that can be used by anyone from students to artists and individuals to organizational teams. |
