Documentation & UX Writing

I love working with teams as a documentation strategy partner. It can help to have a buddy when you’re tackling documentation challenges, whether it’s deciding how to approach your backlog, creating guidelines for UX writing, or building a process to work with your development team. Let me be your docs strategy buddy. I'm also available to help you tackle your backlog of documentation projects -- those nice-to-haves that you're just too busy to handle -- like reworking old content or creating video tutorials.

Most graphic designers are also artists in various kinds of medias. I am no different. In my 21+ year career, everything I've designed has been a piece of art to me, and yet has also served the marketing or business purpose for which it was created. And that's one reason why I do what I do. Creating visual communications through design as a full-time job has also allowed me to create art that I otherwise wouldn't have had the opportunity to create. Ultimately, it also comes down to creating things that give a client more confidence in their own brand. Sometimes it's hard for a client to know who they are - completely - as a brand. And it's rewarding to be part of the process that helps them potential discover who they are.

In a previous design lead position, our company would do community service projects during our national sales meetings, which were held in different locations every year. I was involved in designing wall murals, with a design relevant to the location where the mural was supposed to be painted, and then supervising the production of the mural(s). The locations included elementary schools, a woman's shelter, and a Boy's &amp; Girl's Club. They were amazing opportunities to use design in a way that not only improved the look of the space, but also had a positive emotional affect on the people associated with the location(s).

I love to walk and move. Many times I walk and talk out loud to myself. They say, "Think before you speak." That sounds like great advice. I'm sure some people think before they speak. I've discovered I think by speaking. So, when I feel stuck, I get up from my office chair, go for a walk, and talk through whatever I've got going on.

Communication is one of the most complex parts of being human –– it leads to challenges as well as advancements. Visual communication gives us the chance to meet those challenges with creative solutions. I help people identify their message and who needs to hear it, and I craft something for them that creates connections through clear and engaging artwork. And it's a lot of fun. My specialties include: print, web and motion graphic design; video content production from concept to final edit, including cinematography and direction; editorial, commercial, and product photography and editing; and copy writing.

Pretty much anything. My set of skills is broad but also well developed, so I can find a place as a problem-solver in a wide variety of projects, playing different roles and switching hats. I enjoy having the ability to fill in wherever a client or fellow creative needs me to be.

I'm inspired quite a bit by my three kids. They're all so unique, just different little people from one another. But they all have a deep curiosity for the world around them. That drives me to stay inquisitive and never stop learning.

I have a keen eye for detail and a deep penchant for making words pretty. I enjoy taking what I see and making it better - no matter what medium I'm currently working with. I've even ghost-written a book or 2. I enjoy all things artistic which include writing, painting, drawing, and even crafting. However, my favorite thing to do is to curl up with my laptop and watch documentaries and old movies with the subtitles on.

I'd say that the most pertinent part of being an independent professional for me is consistently getting better at what I do. That includes me reading a lot, writing a ton, and getting into spaces where I'm surrounded by other creatives. I feel there is much to benefit from collaboration.

I'm open to most editing and proofreading projects. I'm particularly fond of the larger manuscripts (50,000 words or more). I enjoy reading stories whether fictional or not because it gives me glimpses into the mind of the author.

The perfect job would be one where I get to write or create for months on end. Like... maybe a ghostwriting gig where I had to write something within 6-8 months. I would just hide away and let my imagination run wild - and my keyboard.

I've had so many jobs that meant a lot to me. If I had to choose, I'd say the most significant project that I've worked on, I assisted a client in writing a book on the stages of grief. It was almost therapeutic because she was still processing through grief while we were writing. It turned out to be a great book and one I am very proud of.
