Summary
Janelle Chan is a project manager and creative technologist with eight years of experience delivering cross-functional creative projects for museums, tech, and events. Currently at the Exploratorium, she orchestrates timelines, budgets, and interdepartmental handoffs while implementing tools like Jira and Slack to improve project visibility and delivery. Her background spans freelance creative production for large brands like Discord to technical operations roles where she built onboarding systems, maintained content pipelines, and even modeled ETL workflows with dbt Cloud. Comfortable both with hands-on production and process design, she bridges designers, engineers, and vendors to turn experimental digital experiences into polished public-facing work. Colleagues know her for pragmatic documentation and a willingness to "write spaghetti code" when a quick prototype keeps a creative concept moving.
