About Janet Alexander
.. I have been teaching adult education at conventions for ten years and for over fifteen years creating technical documentation, instructional tutorials, graphics, web design, and video.
My technical writing experiences, over seven years, includes working on a team interviewing subject matter experts (SME), business analysts, and reviewing and creating business documents for proprietary software. Additionally, I provided quality control analyses on documentation from the business analysts before sending it to development. I tested the software looking for variances in the flow processes and never-ending dead-end loops saving production costs by finding mistakes before development.
This website contains my portfolio showing examples of my technical writing, website design, graphic design, storyboard for video instruction, video editing, and photography. Additionally, I have included an instructional tutorial teaching the process of designing a piece of jewelry. I have a YouTube channel showcasing some of my videos. I filmed and edited the video shown below while creating a pendant in sterling silver. It is less than six minutes long.
I am also an accomplished metal artist with my work shown in museums, published in several books and magazines including on the cover of Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist; The Gemmys 2015, and more. Additionally, my tutorials are published in books and magazines. .
