Technical Writing

When people ask me what technical writers do, I often respond by telling them that technical writers explain things. What I love about my work as a technical writer is that it allows me to simplify information in a visually aesthetic way for the audience. Throughout this category of my web portfolio, you will find multiple examples of the work I have accomplished and the documents I have designed during my time at Ferris State University. If you have any questions, or if you would like more samples, please contact me.

Teavana Instructions

In my very first technical writing project, I was delighted to hold the role of writer. Unlike my other projects above, these instructions were created as a group effort. All design credit can be given to P. Tindall, who used Adobe InDesign. C. Kuhn was responsible for leading the research and user-testing. The instructions were designed to teach users how to infuse tea.

Coffee Instructions

The following deliverables were created in Adobe InDesign with the intent of being a simple set of instructions for employees at a coffee shop. Each piece was meant to be an individual magnet that could attach to the side of an espresso machine or a refrigerator for easy use.

Jet Lag Eye Mask

My next deliverable was also created in Adobe InDesign and the two images are meant to be back-to-back. The idea is that the deliverable can be slipped into the plastic sleeve that the sleep masks come in during international flights.
