UX / TECHNICAL WRITING

Newtopia App "Welcome" Tutorial

2020 | Shavrick & Partners


Part of my role as UX design and copy strategy lead on the redesign of Newtopia's native app was designing a tutorial template that could be leveraged to educate users on any aspect of the app's functionality. I designed the flow and copy for this "welcome" tutorial users encounter immediately after the onboarding process. I also provided comprehensive copy direction for the entire app build, as included in the wireframe and specification documentation delivered.

GE Entellisys System Interface

2015 - 2019 | Brand Studios


GE Entellisys is a switchgear technology used by electrical engineers to control and distribute low voltage power via systems installed onsite at hospitals, airports, corporate data centers, oil and gas plants, manufacturing centers, and water/ wastewater treatment plants. Over the course of several years, I developed and documented thousands of flows, screens, and states for the touchscreen interface that these engineers use to monitor and maintain these systems — covering everything from initial setup and customization to alarm status and event logging. In addition to architecting the entire experience, I wrote all of the copy to be used onscreen, as well as all the technical specifications for the solution, delivered in 10 individual decks, many over 100 pages long. The example provided here details the User Setting and Administration utilities included in the system.

Travelers Digital Content Management System (DCM) Training Video Script

2013 | Travelers


Travelers adopted a Digital Content Management system (DCM) to ensure all content created for its website remained consistently aligned to the company's branding, SEO, user experience, and business unit strategies — a concept well understood by seasoned web content creators, but not so much ny insurance industry experts just wetting their feet in the discipline. I created this script to provide a high-level explanation of the process and resources involved in maintaining website content through the DCM to educate stakeholders throughout the enterprise.

Buster & Scoops' Caregiver Guide

Just for Fun


My passion for creating instructional content extends into my personal life. So naturally I created a detailed guide that anyone caring for my dog, Buster Brown, and cat, Sir Scoops Shackleton, in my absence can easily read and follow (including my nearly 80-year old parents).
