Samples & Other Work
Technical Writing & Content Strategy
My writing has evolved from paper printed GIS manuals and government documents to SaaS storytelling and AI regulations for CTOs, and technical content for engineers — and somehow neither I nor the reader ever fell asleep along the way.
- Developer documentation & product explainers
- UX copy, research synthesis, and clarity-first structure
- Published and client-facing technical content
- Email, Communication, & Campaign Systems
- Creative Writing & Brand Strategy & Storytelling
Full-Stack Product Development
My websites evolved from late-night Squarespace experiments for small businesses into WordPress builds and eventually full-stack React and Python systems with APIs, dashboards, integrations, and AI tools quietly doing magical little things behind the scenes.
Somewhere along the way, writing and development became inseparable.
- React & TypeScript frontend development
- APIs, data modeling, and system integration
- UX-minded implementation and iteration
- HTML/CSS email production & CRM campaign workflows
Client Websites & UX Delivery
My client work has also evolved from helping friends get online into fully SEO’d production websites for high traffic businesses designed to feel trustworthy, memorable, and enjoyable to peruse.
I care just as much about the feeling and flow behind the scenes — from hierarchy, color, imagery, and messaging to the systems quietly supporting everything underneath.
- WordPress + Elementor customization
- Information architecture & navigation flow &
- End-to-end visual implementation alongside UX and code Human and machine-readable content designed for search and AI discovery
Real Money Magic™ — Product Build
Real Money Magic started while I was juggling parenting, property management, wellness work, multiple income streams, and trying to track receipts and expenses on the fly without losing my mind 😄
I designed it to be a calming and intuitive financial app for real people trying to stay hopeful about their futures – not an added stress like most financial apps – with receipt scanning, emotional awareness, and unexpected opportunities.
- UX-first design for real-world users
- Modular components and dashboard logic
- Product vision + technical foundation
Systems Thinking (GIS & Operations)
Back in the days when curiosity meant actual encyclopedias, handwritten notes, and wandering through endless shelves, I was already studying how the world works — usually by sneaking off to research topics that felt “too adult” for me at the library 😄.
That instinct eventually evolved into environmental systems work, GIS mapping, operational coordination, community based business solutions and pattern-focused thinking across technology, marketing, and human behavior.
I’m naturally drawn to emerging threads, hidden connections, long-term cycles, and the ways small decisions ripple through larger systems.
- GIS, mapping, and data systems work
- Government & Emergency Response
- Global and Interstate IT Support
Business Operations & Leadership
Somewhere along the way, my curiosity turned into businesses — and businesses turned into crash courses in communication, negotiation, logistics, and figuring things out in real time 😄
One of the running jokes with a former business partner was that she accidentally started the fires… and I put them out. If things went sideways with a client, I was usually the one stepping in to calm things down and rebuild trust. Though if someone needed to be fired or kicked out of a property? That was DEFINITELY her department 😂
Turns out understanding people — especially ourselves — is one of the most important business skills there is.
- Client communication & conflict resolution
- Process design, logistics, and delivery
- Strategic execution & accountability
Meet
Jen Thompson
“Look It Up!”
That’s what my mom used to say when I’d yell from across the house,
“Mom! What does revolution mean?”
If I didn’t run for the dictionary fast enough, she’d drop it or the encyclopedia in my lap and make me read it out loud.
Turns out — that’s how I learned to build systems, write clearly, and question everything.
