Technical Writer. UX Writer. Journalist.

I just really like words.

I've been writing professionally across different industries for about ten years now.

That's a lot of writing.

The majority of my work has always centered around demystifying complex concepts and making them accessible to the general audience. This was my goal as a tutor, a journalist, and it remains my goal as a technical writer and UX writer.

This portfolio showcases different pieces from each sector. You'll find some articles and essays, technical documentation (i.e., user guides for hardware and software, API documentation), and UX writing samples. These samples were created using different platforms like Swagger and Postman and showcase instructions on using those platforms to get the intended results.

InnoGear Aromatherapy Diffuser User Manual

My mom likes shopping for trinkets and then stopping by with a couple as gifts. The latest batch (as of this posting) includes an aromatherapy diffuser, which I load up with lavender to fill my little studio apartment with a soothing scent. I read every user manual/guide that comes with a product, both out of compulsion and professional courtesy. While reading the one that came with the diffuser, I could only think, “Wow, this thing is in [REDACTED] omnishambles!”

I cleaned up the original version to keep my skills sharp and to practice what I was learning when I was first using Snagit. I cleared up instructions that became murky in translation, removed redundant information, and readjusted sections to make it feel more intuitive to the reader.
