As a small, women-owned business, we know what it means to be both scrappy and consultative. Our team brings a variety of skill sets to diverse projects. For more than 20 years, we’ve adeptly responded to economic changes as well as client needs, growing in size and offerings. Above all, we subscribe to four objectives.
CLARITY
Make sense of complex ideas and clean up messages with precise writing, editing, and design.
FLEXIBILITY
Quickly grasp new concepts, adapt to project changes, and back each other up to deliver on expectations responsively.
SUSTAINABILITY
Steadily grow our business and create a profit by managing scope, meeting deadlines, and impressing clients.
COMMUNITY
Lean on, learn from, and invest in our team while also serving our diverse community through volunteer time and donations.
Our Team
Writers, editors, designers, and project managers. McMul hires W-2 employees—not contract writers or freelance editors—so every person placed on your project has been tested, trained, and mentored. And every team member is backed by a deep pool of additional resources if you need to quickly scale up.
The luck of the Irish brought Paige to McMul on St. Patrick’s Day 2008. Pickier than any client, she pushes the team to consistently deliver their best work.
As the self-described bean counter at McMul, Rob helps keep us in the green. Despite the pun of his name, we’ve trusted him to safeguard our profits since 1997.
If there’s a person Ted can’t talk to, he hasn’t met them yet. He’s easily excited (think golden retriever), but he’s just as sincerely invested in connecting people and helping them succeed.
As Walt Disney said, “There’s no magic in magic. It’s all in the details.” Steven is tracking hundreds of things behind the scenes to keep our show running smoothly—just like magic!
Madeline is our ultimate motivator. She manages our projects team, making sure that everyone is in the right role and that everything going out the (virtual) door is of the highest quality.
Extreme dedication is what gets Jenn up at 4 a.m. for international client meetings. Queen of managing calls, schedules, and personalities, Jenn is an ideal keep-your-cool project manager.
Wise (and professional) beyond his years, Ethan is our biggest stickler for traditional grammar rules. He learns at supersonic speeds and improves every project on which he works.
Having been with McMul since 2005, Deb has mentored nearly every editor on our current team. She is as good at carefully explaining style decisions as she is at matching a client’s tone.
This two-time limerick contest winner is known for her clever prose, which makes her an excellent marketing writer. She’s been impressing McMul clients with her writing and editing since 2015.
Quick to comprehend technical content and slow to kvetch about near-impossible deadlines, Nolan is the first to volunteer for challenging projects. Bonus: His desktop publishing skills add a refreshing flair to technical documentation.
Possibly a time traveler, Russ has a knack for listening to a client’s needs and then asking, “Something like this?” with a sample before the meeting is over.
For another picture of Synthia, look up “efficient” in the dictionary. Hired as an instructional designer, she has also impressed us with her ability to manage large and complicated projects.
Long-time graphic designer and more recent instructional designer, Dave is skilled at listening to client concerns and creating the right graphic or training interaction for the need.
Careers
Are you picturing your face here? We are always looking for diverse candidates to grow our pool of talented writers, editors, instructional designers, graphic designers, and project managers.
