Over 20 years of experience

I combine years of expertise in user experience design, content strategy, technical writing, and project management to create effective communication solutions for the web, print media, and products.

I've worked with small and large companies, from helping launch high-tech startups to managing design and writing teams at Microsoft. I authored a book on web animation, and ran my own clothing company for four years, selling my designs nationwide and internationally.

I help clients with a wide range of projects —from designing websites and brochures to writing whitepapers and designing software. I specialize in creating intuitive information architecture, creative design, and effective messaging that really connect with how people think and work.

What matters most

I believe smart planning, creativity, integrity and humor go a long way —and I bring all of that to my life and work— along with lots of user empathy. My clients can always count on prompt and attentive service, with exceptional results delivered on time and on budget.

Most of all, I make it easy for people because I'm "one-stop shopping". I can help you plan a communication strategy so you are targeting the right people in the right way; design your website and marketing materials; and write all your communications with a style and voice that anyone can understand.

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