Communication is vital in our ever-changing world
Your customers and staff are counting on you to provide understandable, timely, and relevant information to help them use your products and services. I create clear and engaging documentation that builds customer satisfaction with your products and enables your staff to work efficiently.
Technical Communication is a broad field that includes any form of communication that communicates about technical or specialized topics, communicates by using technology, or provides instructions about how to do something.
Most contemporary Technical Writing projects require a mix of skillful technical writing, graphic design, illustrations, videos, and online presentations. They also require the writer to quickly learn about complex topics so they can present them in a clear and simple manner to their audience. For me, this is a combination that checks all of the boxes for my competencies and passions!
My diverse skill set matches your organization's diverse needs
Do you lack the in-house skill or desire to handle your technical documentation and website work? I specialize in helping companies and fellow freelancers fill these gaps. My technical expertise allows me to quickly get up to speed on your projects and technology. I collaborate with you and your team early in the project so that I can efficiently deliver the results you’re looking for. My flexibility allows you to contract with me just for the work you need without the commitment of hiring a full-time employee.
Technical Writing
Clear and consistent writing is the foundation for any technical communication project. My writing conveys complex technical information to your readers in a straightforward and engaging manner.
Graphics and Illustrations
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and this axiom holds true in modern technical communications. Graphics, charts, screenshots, photos, and illustrations make it easier for your readers to understand technical concepts.
Web Design
End users expect technical documentation to be available online nowadays. I am skilled in WordPress and other web technologies which enables me to format and post content where your readers expect to find it.
I use the software you already know and (hopefully) love
I work with industry-standard software for Mac and Windows, and I stay current on popular web design technology and languages.
My credentials ensure I have the skills you're looking for
Learning is like oxygen to me, and my enthusiasm for it ensures my education continues with each project I take on. I am a lifelong learner who will complete the Technical Communication certificate program at UCSD Extension by the end of 2021.

Testimonials
I hired Jamie to design my website after my web guy of many years disappeared and the guy I hired to replace him was a flake. I only had a 4-page author website, but it needed a lot of bells and whistles, including landing pages, plugins, images, a calendar scheduler, and email sign up. Jamie not only kept a detailed list of everything that had to be done, but emailed me regularly with updates. She let me know what I had to do on my end, and we coordinated our efforts seamlessly. Jamie is a WordPress wizard, and what she didn't know she researched or consulted her WordPress group. I would not hesitate to recommend Jamie for most technical communication projects. I intend to use her in the future to design my books and videos, and keep my 2 websites up to date. Go Jamie!
Jamie was truly amazing and so helpful in fixing my website issue with my contact form. I had asked so many other web site developers who never could seem to fix it. They kept telling me I had to totally redesign my web site, which would have cost a lot of money. Jamie, worked on it and had it up and running in no time at all. I would definitely use her again in the future. Don’t hesitate to call her, as she is very sincere and will do her best. I am looking forward to working with her in the near future. Jamie, thank you so much for getting my site working properly again. You are the best.
