All my work (15+ years) involves user experiences, research, and writing. I’m always looking for a way to make products easier and more intuitive, with less cognitive load.
And writing is innate to me – give me an assignment, and I can tell your story, with empathy, engagement, and understanding.
My particular expertise is designing and writing with the client’s or brand’s voice and translating complex ideas into digestible content. That’s where the UX comes into writing: channeling the client or brand and empathizing with the users.
Thanks for taking a look!
UX Writing & Design
My UX writing experience ranges from microcopy to short- and long-form web content for too many websites to count, as well as reviewing apps for content, flow, and functionality. The samples below represent both UX writing and design, from microcopy to web content.
I have also designed 3 apps, designed or redesigned and built 6 websites, reviewed and copyedited 4 websites and apps, and designed or collaborated on 4 wikis. In each, I wrote, curated, or edited the copy.

Research, Content, & Content Management
If you want to dig a little deeper, here are a few samples of my research and content development/content strategy work. My role typically involved researching topics I was unfamiliar with and generating or improving content for a variety of purposes – from informational brochures to government reports to websites and apps.
Editing
I’m an editor as well as a writer and designer, so I can make sure your copy – microcopy to long-form – is written correctly.
My 15+ years of editing experience includes microcopy, app and website reviews, academic papers, novels, business reports, and more.
Editing is now a secondary (not primary) part of my work, but without editing, apps and websites go live with typos and grammatical errors, so here are a few examples of my editing work.
