Published Writing 2023

In the first section,  I was asked to reformat and rewrite multiple work products for the clients we served at PMMI. The most rewarding project that I took on was turning a slide deck of customer survey results into an extensive, analytical white paper. For this report, I researched how IT storage and security affects the packaging industry. The power of designing information to be useful lies in its ability to make complex data easily understandable, accessible, and actionable for users, ultimately allowing them to make informed decisions, solve problems, and achieve their goals with less effort and frustration; essentially, good information design translates data into meaningful insights that can be readily consumed by the target audience, improving comprehension and engagement with the information presented.​ 

​

Secondly, my Association Services Department Head asked me to write several pieces for digital and collateral publication over the course of my internship. This endeavor included not only testing my writing and copyediting skills, but included researching topics ranging from new industry regulations to industry disrupting technology.

After

“Host Sean Riley sits down with Bruce Main, PMMI Machinery Safety Expert and Technical Advisor, to have a wide-ranging discussion about standards and regulations. During this conversation Main sought to clarify misconceptions about machinery standards, discuss PMMI’s latest standard update, and recommend a new white paper as a resource to OEMs. Main starts by clarifying the difference between legal regulations such as from OSHA or the EU, and voluntary industry standards like ANSI B155.1. Main emphasizes that the ANSI B155.1 is a standard that machinery builders and users need to pay attention to since it outlines the required risk assessment process. To round out the podcast, Main recommends the white paper 2023 The Impact of Global and Local Standards on OEMs & Suppliers to both OEMs and their customers to learn more about current standards and their subsequent impact.
