Hello! I’m an expert technical writer (PhD) and editorial designer with 10+ years of experience. I combine my ability to understand complex subject matter with my eye for executive-level design to elevate all types of assets, from reports and white papers to proposals and everything in between. 🔍 Writing & Editing | ✨ Editorial & Document Design
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Chelsea is highly competent and great to work with. Not only does she have a great aptitude for understanding client needs, she's super responsive and a great communicator. Very smart. Very fast. Very good. Highly recommend."
I help consultants and businesses with projects in two areas:
▫️Document design that looks polished, clean, and executive-level.
▫️Writing and editing that clarifies complex ideas, or if the work just needs a second set of eyes.
Originally from a research background, I moved into industry years ago and now leverage it to provide clients with high-level content for B2B, B2G, B2C, lead generation, market positioning, etc. I combine my high-level business and technical writing expertise with my passion for editorial design, so if you need a quality editor AND a quality designer, I’m a two-for-one that will be hard to find elsewhere.

⭐ What makes my design work different: My background in both industry and research means I can quickly understand complex topics. What does that have to do with design? I design to fit your work, which means you won’t have gimmicky stock photos that have nothing to do with your industry or design elements that perhaps look nice but cheapen your positioning. Because I’m capable of understanding the work itself, I can both edit it to a high level and understand how to best portray it visually.
My document designs speak for themselves (take a look at my portfolio). I tailor everything to your business, your vision, and your brand. High-resolution stock photography is always included. I specialize in text-heavy documents, so send me that 60-page strategic report and I’ll turn it into something you (and your clients) will say “wow, that looks professional.”

More About Me:
After earning my PhD, I worked at NASA as a lead scientist and technical writer. I’ve published my work in journals, contributed to textbooks in my field, and authored/designed university course manuals. After many years, I realized I wanted to expand my horizons and pivoted from federal work to business writing and graphic design.
