Vita
In 1991, I wrote my first technical instruction. The objective of the instruction was to prevent cold cracking in welding steel bridges. It was then, that I learned to put myself in the shoes of the user and to tailor my documentation to their specific context and requirements. A welder doesn't read a long manual, so the instruction had to be minimalistic and memorable.
My main motivation – you could call it my purpose - has always been helping other people, and I feel at my best when working on solutions that have a positive impact on people’s work and life. Like the welding instruction that explained a new way of working on just 4 pages, allowing welders to deliver bridges that can stand for over a 100 years.
Fast forward >30 years and I find myself now building bridges in organizations, innovating the way Technical Publications are developed and used. Though my role has changed over time, deep in my heart I am still that technical writer: combining innovation, storytelling and writing to design and explain innovative solutions. I can activate real change in complex technical publication landscapes and get the commitment from key stakeholders to maximize the impact of technical innovations and process transformations.
As a leader in technical publications, I help my clients in transforming their technical publication processes using state-of-the-art technology and introducing innovations. By constantly challenging the status quo, I drive changes that have a real impact on people, processes and technology.
