Mark Michon
Let’s build a better web.
I’m a technical writer, former educator, substitute front-end dev, and erstwhile designer. I care deeply about approachable design, accessible information, and the power of the open web.
In this past I managed documentation and technical content at Bearer, taught development and design at Full Sail University, and built courses for Designlab.
I’m looking for opportunities working on product and developer documentation. Here’s how I can help your team.
