I think of UX writing as customer service for cognition.

It's polite, conversational, and human-centered. 
Good UX often feels invisible because users will flow through an interaction without noticing the presence or absence of guidance.

​Here are two examples.
CHALLENGE: Create Your Profile
The TRAILS website offers a huge library of materials and resources to a broad user base. The Product Design Team needed to create a more customizable user experience on the website to help visitors with diverse roles and expertise more easily access resources specific to them.

SOLUTION
I worked with the Product Design Team to improve UX with a build-your-own-profile featue. In this form modal, we leveraged UI components like text fields and checkboxes to create a step-by-step experience that allowed us to better understand users and provide them more personalized experiences.

OTHER WAYS I HELPED
  • Collaborated with lead designers and clinicians on concept and UI​
  • Brainstormed and tested various information hierarchies
  • Provided content structure
  • Proofed and finalized

CHALLENGE: What's New Page & Notifications
Users had no way of learning about the ongoing updates made to TRAILS materials and web features. This led to under-use of ongoing program improvements.

SOLUTION
Collaborated with UX designers to update the Notifications feature and build a What’s New page to inform users of ongoing work to improve their experience. 

OTHER WAYS I HELPED
  • Crafted content guidelines to ensure consistency
  • Set direction for voice and tone
  • Identified low-lift changes to the Notifications feature allowing users access to more valuable, specific information at a glance
  • Collaborated with UX designers on concept and requirements
  • Provided ongoing feature support: I continuously wrote and published all posts and related notifications to the website
