Selected Work

The projects below highlight my experience designing content systems, improving information architecture, establishing governance standards, and helping organizations communicate complex information more effectively. While technical writing is central to my work, these case studies focus on broader business and user-experience challenges involving content strategy, content operations, information architecture, and documentation leadership.

Case Studies

Creating a Unified Content Experience During the CenturyLink–Level 3 Merger +
CenturyLink and Level 3 documentation integration project

Following the merger of Level 3 Communications and CenturyLink, documentation from two organizations needed to be consolidated into a unified customer-facing experience. The challenge involved reconciling different information architectures, content systems, navigation models, branding requirements, and documentation standards.

Key Contributions

  • Rebuilt information architecture to mirror the MyLevel3 portal experience.
  • Established governance standards and documentation processes.
  • Integrated content from multiple documentation ecosystems.
  • Created scalable approaches to terminology and branding management.
  • Improved consistency across customer-facing content.

Challenge

Level 3 and CenturyLink maintained separate content platforms, documentation standards, templates, navigation models, and customer experiences. Simply importing content would have created confusion for users and increased long-term maintenance complexity.

Approach

I redesigned the help-system architecture around the customer experience rather than organizational ownership boundaries. Documentation was reorganized to align with product workflows, content standards were established, and reusable content techniques were expanded to support future branding and terminology changes.

Results

  • Created a cohesive customer-facing documentation experience.
  • Improved maintainability through reusable content structures.
  • Established governance standards supporting multiple contributors.
  • Created a scalable framework for future growth.
  • Aligned documentation architecture with user workflows.
