my background

20 years of experience

I've spent 20 years growing my expertise in user experience and website design, technical writing, and project management to refine the right communication strategies for the web, print media, and software.

I've worked with small and large companies, from helping launch high-tech startups to managing design and writing teams at Microsoft. I also authored a book on web animation (Microsoft Press, 1998).

I spent the early '90's running my own children's clothing company, and many years as a design/writing consultant. I specialize in providing strategic solutions for content messaging and design to optimize the user experience in all types of business communications.

What matters most

I believe smart thinking, good planning, integrity and humor go a long way —and I bring all of this to my life and work— along with a creative imagination and an empathetic spirit. I'm often told I have an uncanny ability to encapsulate big ideas into tiny soundbites and translate industry-lingo into messages anyone can understand.

That's the heart of my work:  helping people connect in meaningful ways so that everyone has a great experience.

Many thanks to my husband, my greatest champion, for being a constant source of inspiration and wisdom.
