Project involvement

Replace complex concepts and technical jargon with plain language.

  • Ensure the key messages and precision of the information is retained.

  • Provide visual recommendations such as design layout.

  • Proofread the document to ensure it is clear and concise.

We’re stoked with the work that Vanessa has done on the Critical Risk Guide, and I would absolutely recommend Vanessa’s service. This was no small task, and Vanessa was able to complete the work required quickly and to a standard that we would not have been able to achieve with our current time constraints. Her communication and project management skills are much appreciated – we always knew where the project was at and what was expected of us. Thank you for your work on this project – hopefully, it will help make a change in the residential sector!
