Session description

You don't know it yet, but documentation is pretty amazing. Channel your inner educator and get inspired! We'll talk about the different ways developers and end users try to solve problems, where they look to find information and how you can get ahead of those needs by putting your recommendations in the right places. Documentation is an amazing and complex problem that doesn’t end at a wiki full of pages. Let’s talk about how we can use our UI, different ways of phrasing and explaining, and the features we have available in WordPress to be the best teachers we can be.

I'm a lead interactive designer in Boston University's Interactive Design department, and I love code, design and teaching others. I'm maybe the only person on this earth that gets excited to write documentation, and I'm an active contributor to our custom theme framework. I frequently work with large school redesigns (most recently, BU's College of Communication), as well as work on feature articles for our Bostonia and Research editorial properties.
