I'm Erin Isaacson, founder and CEO of Pacific Crest Digital Solutions, a documentation management and writing agency supporting businesses across sectors. I also serve as an associate consultant for Mozaik Solutions, an emergency management firm specializing in operational continuity and leadership development. I began freelancing in 2019 and transitioned to full-time consulting in 2021. I frequently collaborate with a trusted team of tech specialists, designers, editors, and SMEs to deliver tailored, high-quality documentation solutions—scaling support as needed based on your project. What I Do Best: ✔️ Manuals & Guides Developing employee, operations, and training manuals for organizations. ✔️ Platform-Specific Solutions Proficient in multiple platforms including Zoho, Microsoft Dynamics, Asana, Monday.com, and other CRM and project management platforms. ✔️ SEO and Content Creation Turning complex topics into clear, engaging, SEO-friendly content that connects with your audience. ✔️ Compliance & Technical Documentation Streamlining documentation for clients in defense, legal, cybersecurity, and medical field sectors with a focus on accuracy and clarity. ✔️ Operational Consulting & Project Oversight Provide consulting support and PM assistance, with an emphasis on efficiency, clarity, and sustainability. My Process: I start with a Q&A call to clarify your needs and goals. From there, I’ll recommend either an hourly structure for ongoing work or a firm-fixed price proposal—often accompanied by a Gantt chart or project breakdown. 📩 Feel free to reach out via direct message—I'm quick to respond (typically within a few hours), and happy to explore how I can support your documentation or operations goals.
