Flagship case study

Building the documentation for a newly consolidated GIS product

I helped bring Production Mapping and Defense Mapping into ArcGIS Topographic Mapping, creating the information architecture, workflows, graphics, videos, and supporting content for the new product experience.

Challenge: Unify two established product lines without losing critical workflows or confusing existing users.
My role: Content strategy, hands-on testing, writing, visual communication, terminology alignment, and cross-functional collaboration.
Outcome: A new documentation site supporting ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise workflows.
