I help smart people make complex things simple

I’m Don Downs. I’ve worked with software teams, and solo professionals to make their tools and messaging easier to understand. Whether it’s editing a screencast or rewriting a homepage, I help my clients communicate clearly and confidently.

Why clarity matters—especially in tech

Tech tools are often brilliant. But when users get overwhelmed or lost, the value disappears. I bridge that gap—so great products and smart professionals actually get used, understood, and appreciated.

My Background

  • Engineering & Telecom Background
  • SCADA and Software Libraries
  • Customer-facing work and screencast production
  • Messaging and clarity coaching for solopreneurs
  • Creator of onboarding labs, training videos, and support docs
