Desktop publisher (Word, PowerPoint, Kindle/KDP +more) & Writing

Hello! I'm Kirstie, a passionate and experienced desktop publisher and writer, with a knack for transforming ideas into visually stunning and well-organized documents. With expert-level proficiency in the MS Office suite, including Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, I specialize in creating corporate templates and resolving document issues, and am experienced in formatting books for Amazon Kindle KDP, ensuring they meet all necessary standards for publication. I also have extensive Adobe Acrobat/PDF formatting experience, including creating forms, adjusting text and layout in PDF documents. I’m also experienced in Canva, InDesign, and Photoshop. I love working in Word and find it fun to solve any new challenges a client may bring me. It's like a puzzle! I excel at solving complex document challenges, turning them into seamless solutions. I thrive on both large and small projects and relish the challenge of creating unique and technologically advanced solutions. My diverse experience spans various industries, from international corporations and large multi-state companies to small mom-and-pop businesses and non-profits. What do I bring to you? In desktop publishing, I am a creative professional focused on aesthetically pleasing and well-organized layouts. I am detail-oriented and efficient, having worked on everything from large safety documents and corporate M&A presentations to one-page flyers and letterheads. In content writing, I bring a strong background with a keen interest in research and accuracy. My writing is compelling and colorful, and in editing and proofreading, I offer strong attention to detail, an understanding of narrative flow and story arcs, and excellent grammar, punctuation, and AP Style knowledge. Ultimately, my goal is to deliver exactly the product you are looking for, exceeding your expectations in quality, on time, and within budget. Let's collaborate to bring your vision to life with precision and creativity!
