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 CC graphics tools: InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator - Long document book layout (InDesign, Affinity Layout), structured/hierarchical style design and KDP conversion (Kindle Create) - Blended tutorial/courseware instructional designer (with workbooks) for business and app screen recordings: PowerPoint, webcams, Camtasia, Audiate, InDesign - Technical writing and editing: User manuals (InDesign, Word, Docsie) aimed at improving end-user satisfaction (in other words, reducing customer/technical support pain) - Project leadership and ScrumMaster roles (software projects, instructional design, or user documentation) 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 work well under tight time schedules as long as there are 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 (huge benefit to a client). On-time, quality results that delight the client (and their customers) mean everything. More info at leadingswmaniacs dot com. Creator of the Quick Start series of Udemy courses with Quick Start: Creating App Tutorials with Camtasia. (This course is for those CLIENTS who don’t want to commit to days learning Camtasia [or to hire a freelancer like me] and just want some basic “How-To” assistance to learn how to do screen recordings in one afternoon.) I rarely entertain fixed-price contracts (and the one time I did, it turned into four follow-up hourly-rate projects). For project management and urgent projects, a slight hourly upcharge for “rush, drop everything” jobs will be applied.
