MEGA Live Imaging TargetLock
Installation Guide
I created this installation guide for Humminbird’s MEGA Live Imaging TargetLock system, a product that requires the lengthiest and most complex installation of any of Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics’ Humminbird products to date. I worked with engineers, programmers, industrial designers, marketing, and legal teams across two sister brands to develop this 70-page document. I developed both the mechanical and the software instructions based primarily on virtual interviews with SMEs rather than interaction with the product itself. The line art was created by industrial designers based on specifications I provided.

Cannon
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. Created during the height of the pandemic, this is another document I developed primarily based on virtual interviews with SMEs.
Skills Used:

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.

Digital Audit
This is a digital audit I conducted for a local business’ website. It includes a content strategy plan that offers an actionable task list for revamping and maintaining the business’ online presence; a content audit that provides a deep look into what’s working and what’s not about the business’ current strategy; and an SEO audit that analyzes how competitive the business is against similar local businesses.

The Shelby Report
Cover Story
I wrote this story (under my maiden name) for The Shelby Report of the West during my time as Web Editor for Shelby Publishing. I enjoyed the opportunity to write a more narrative piece than is typical for a trade journal.
