What my clients say...

“ I enjoy working with Ann and appreciate her superb editing and communication skills."

Jonathan Soll
Metro, Parks and Nature

“ It was great working with Ann. Her ability to organize information and track what needed to be followed up on was invaluable."

Janelle St. Pierre
Portland Parks & Recreation

“ Working with Ann was a great experience! She helped our 20-member Strategic Plan team turn a body of technical narrative, with many voices, lots of jargon and no clear storyline, into an approachable and compelling Strategic Plan that really delivers the essence of who we are and what we are setting out to do. She is smart, responsive, and always seemed to ask the right questions in the right places. From here on out, Ann will be my go-to technical writer."

Dawn Uchiyama
City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services

“ Ann was thoughtful and creative on a very tight deadline, distilled the input of a myriad of voices, and pointed out where we needed to self-reflect."

Shannah Anderson

“ I was so impressed with Ann's ability to quickly become comfortable with the information and translate it into meaningful narrative in a short amount of time."

Lore Joplin

“ Ann has the rare ability to craft highly technical material and data in such a way that it is not only informative but appealing and engaging for a range of audiences. Her work elevates our collective understanding of the issues."

Debrah Marriott
Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership

“ Ann is top notch and amazing at her job. I would recommend her to anyone, for her skills and her patience. The Greater Forest Park Conservation Initiative would not be what it is without her talent and creativity."

Renee Myers

“ Ann is an effective communicator. Beyond the words are a keen sense of audience, critical thinking, strategy, and art."

Phil Trask

“ Ann is a highly qualified writer who delivers polished copy on time. She prepared a wonderful article -- well written and helpful for other writers."

Nancy Woods
The Hollywood Star News &
Kickstart Your Writing

“ On a major writing effort, two colleagues and I chose Ann as our editor and project manager. Ann quickly saw the whole of what we were trying to do and reshaped our individual contributions to achieve that whole. She tracked the many unresolved issues, showed great skill at clarifying differences, and covered every base with astounding skill and speed. The resulting document received accolades from our target readers, in large part because of Ann's work. We could not have achieved what we did without her. Her added value was much, much more than the cost of her services."

Nancy L. Brown

“ I'm impressed at how Ann can wade through volumes of new material and see the finished document in her mind's eye. Then she makes it happen."

Scott McEwen
(formerly) Columbia Land Trust

“ I desperately needed someone who could take complete ownership of a monthly newsletter, write for a diverse audience, and do so creatively and with technical accuracy. Ann was that person. She planned the issues, researched the topics, created the content, and did the layout, all with a sense of humor. Her audience and our client got so much more than we ever imagined!"
