Hi, I’m Alissa. I’m a Technical Communicator based in Atlanta, GA.

I work with subject matter experts to create clean, concise content that serves consumers as well as internal stakeholders.

Here’s what I do best.

  • Technical Writing

    From 300-page user manuals to installation guides that have to fit into very small product packages, I know how to use the resources at hand to create usable, effective content.

  • Editing

    Nothing ruins good writing faster than an awkward typo. Whether it needs a full overhaul or just a little bit of polish, I can help your content stand out (in a good way).

  • Collaboration

    I work with all sorts of teams: design, engineering, marketing, legal—you name it. Whatever your team looks like, I know how to ask the right questions to get the job done.

The proof is in the portfolio…

User Manual

I wrote this user manual for brand new software developed as a joint effort between Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics’ Humminbird and its sister brand Cannon. This manual guides consumers through wireless connection of their hardware, adjustment of software settings, software uses, and troubleshooting.

Quick Start Guide

This quick start guide posed a particular challenge. Not only did I need it to fit into a tiny product package, but I also needed it to include French translations. My solution? Prioritization of information, compact design, and some creative folding! This guide includes instructions for both hardware and software.

Installation Guide

I created this installation guide for Humminbird’s MEGA Live Imaging TargetLock system, a product that requires the most complex installation of any of Humminbird’s products to date. I worked with engineers, programmers, industrial designers, marketing, and legal teams across two sister brands to develop this 70-page document.
