This letter, co-written with my colleague, introduces our new roles as OWL Content and Technical Coordinators. It highlights our ongoing projects, including collaborating with the Graduate School for the Big Ten+ Grad Expo, updating APA 7 resources, and developing new content for graduate-level writing, such as thesis and dissertation support. We also share our plans to enhance global engagement through creative video content on our YouTube channel.

I collaborated on creating tutorials for users new to the WCO platform, providing writing consultants with clear, step-by-step guidance on how to navigate and effectively use the platform. These tutorials were designed to enhance user experience, helping consultants maximize the platform's features for better student support and streamlined workflow.

Background: Owned the development of design system documentation (Constellation), ensuring consistency, usability, and alignment across internal and external-facing content. Co-led creation and rollout of a content style guide, standardizing voice, tone, and terminology to improve and reduce friction across teams. Implemented and optimized project workflows within a cross-functional agile team (10–12 members), improving task visibility, team coordination, and productivity by 30%. My Impact: As a UX Writer for the Constellation Design System, I created clear documentation for new components, detailing their functions and applications. This enabled cross-functional teams to quickly understand and implement the system, resulting in a 25% reduction in support inquiries related to component usage and releases. This improvement reflects the value of well-crafted documentation in enhancing clarity and operational efficiency across the organization. I streamlined internal team communications by inventing, presenting, and implementing a team-wide decision tracker using Airtable, integrated with our standard project management system in Jira. This tool improved transparency and efficiency by providing a centralized location for tracking decisions, reducing confusion between stand-ups, and minimizing time spent in meetings. As a result, teams reported positive feedback regarding clearer project alignment and a more efficient workflow, with noticeable improvements in cross-functional collaboration and overall productivity. I reorganized and streamlined the team’s norming documents and 'getting started' tasks to improve the onboarding process for new team members. Previously, the process was cumbersome and left newcomers struggling to find essential information, often resulting in confusion and delays. By creating a clear, structured 'getting started' guide, I reduced onboarding time by 3-4 days. This allowed new hires to quickly gain the necessary knowledge, become more productive sooner, and feel more confident in their roles, ultimately improving team efficiency and integration. As a UX Writer for the Constellation Design System, I ensured that both copy and design elements met accessibility standards to create an inclusive experience. In addition to crafting clear, concise language, I focused on accessible diction, minimizing jargon, and ensuring content was easy to understand for all users. I collaborated with design and development teams to optimize font choices, color contrasts, and provide alt text for images, ensuring that the system was fully accessible and user-friendly for individuals with diverse needs. While on the Support Lab team, I led the creation of video tutorials and interactive prototypes using InVision and Sketch, aimed at enhancing user support and training. In collaboration with the UX Researcher, I observed user interviews and feedback sessions, utilizing Medallia testing to gather insights on how users interacted with the site. Based on this feedback, iterative adjustments were made to the content and user interface, resulting in improved clarity, ease of navigation, and higher user engagement. These changes contributed to a more intuitive and effective user experience.

I strategized and edited this video in 2022 to show users how to add beneficiaries to an IRA account for the company’s support center.

If I don't add anything else to my budget, I make sure to budget for your services. - Michelle Green I absolutely love the professionalism and quality that Kim provides. This partnership feels like just that. I’m held accountable to execute on my weekly videos and Kim has a flawless turnaround time with little to no guidance on my vision. She just gets it! - Kaleah Nicole Coaching Kimberly created an intro sequence for my podcast that I absolutely love! She captured the essence of the podcast in a fun way! Not only did she do a fabtastic job, but she did so without us asking. When I need an updated intro sequence, I will definitely reach out to her! - Kevin and Melissa Fredricks Working with Kim has been a Godsend. She is beyond talented, super professional, and has a work style that is very much one that has been refreshing to me. She has great creative insight, and works very well collaboratively with her clients. I plan to continue working with Kim for as long as I can, as she is a REAL gem that will help my brand excel. She’s got the magic touch! - Rhea Williams We absolutely love this partnership! As newlyweds and new parents establishing careers fresh out of college, it takes a lot to keep up with our Youtube channel. To be able to simply record a video and have Kimberly edit it and prepare it for publishing has been a true blessing. Not only does she edit our content, we can trust that she will protect the heart of our message and convey it in an even clearer light for the world to see. What Kimberly does is not just a business, it truly is a ministry. We are overly pleased with her work and have nothing but great things to say about her! If you are contemplating joining a partnership with her, do it. You will not regret it. - Hannah and Cameron Giles The best part about my partnership with Kim is that it truly feels like a partnership. She understand my vision. She is very creative, proactive and consistently taking the initiative on my videos. I will send over a video (last minute I want to add) with no direction, instructions, title, NO NOTHING! And she does her magic. She has exceeded my expectations. Yes she can edit videos but she is more like a creative director. She gives me what I need without me asking. - Alicia Webster My husband, Brandon and I had a great work experience with K. Broughton Media. Kimberly put together an intro/outro video for me and my husband’s Facebook segment, “A Moment of Encouragement with B&V Free”. She really made it come to life! She is very professional in communication and business interaction. She was very thorough in finding out exactly what we, as her client, wanted, and she incorporated what was requested in a timely manner with satisfactory results. We were very pleased in our business relationship with Kimberly and gladly recommend her services to all. - Brandon & Veronica As I sit back and reflect upon all of my accomplishments thus far, I cannot help but to focus on all of the guidance that I received from Kimberly. I will never forget when I decided to further my education at Charleston Southern University with my Master's Degree. One of the requirements was to write an essay expounding upon all of my experiences with educational leadership. I had plenty of ideas and plenty of experience but I had no idea of how to put my thoughts into writing. After giving it a shot, I went to Kimberly for some assistance and was breath-taken by all of the changes that were recommended. The level of detail, time, and thought that was put into critiquing my paper was unreal. She took this task as if it was her own paper and gave it her best. One week after submitting my application packet and being told that all spots were filled, I was accepted into my master's program. My paper set me apart from many. This was my first experience with [Kim], but I promise that it will not be my last. - Dr. NaShayla Whitten
