Camtasia expert, techwriter/editor, InDesign/KDP expert, graphics

Hi, my name is Ken Whitaker (Howard is my given first name). An experienced freelancer who DOESN’T MISS AGREED-UPON MILESTONES! Visual communications expert (in all of its forms): - Adobe Certified Professional in core Adobe CC graphics tools: Visual Design, InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator -- particularly love designing digital letterpress vintage posters - Kindle reflowable long document book conversion from Word or InDesign (cover design, too) - Technical writing and editing--particularly user manuals (InDesign, Word, Docsie) aimed at end-user satisfaction (in other words, reducing customer/technical support pain) - Instructional designer of blended learning courses (Camtasia videos, workbooks, and PowerPoint recordings, audio enhancements, Audiate voiceovers) - Camtasia and Snagit certified - Blended courseware with workbook designer - Augment video learning with quizzes, handouts, and workbooks (conditional text separating student/teacher content). - Project Manager and ScrumMaster (certified in both) for creative and especially software development projects. Unfortunately, hourly rate will be 20% higher for project management role. I have written books on tech leadership (Managing Software Maniacs), project management (Principles of Software Development Leadership), technical writing (A Guide to Publishing User Manuals), and InDesign (InDesign to Kindle). I tend to work well under tight time schedules with frequent, iterative handoff reviews. At the end of most projects, you’ll get an overview “how-to” guide describing how the work was created and can be maintained. On-time, quality results that delight the client (and their customers) means everything. More info at leadingswmaniacs dot com. I "think" I am funny and collaborative to work with. (Some might disagree ... but always optimistic!)
