Hey! I’m Daree.
And I help healthtech companies turn complex ideas into content their users can understand and use.
For over 25 years, I’ve been a technical and UX writer for companies like Audible, CVS Health, Comcast, and NOKIA. I know how to take a system that makes perfect sense to the people who built it and translate it for the people who just want to know what button to press.
What I do at Ree Writes
I work with teams on content strategy and UX content design, including fractional content strategy for companies that need senior direction without a full-time hire. Most engagements start with a content audit that shows what’s working, what’s missing, and what to fix first. I also write for LinkedIn, email, newsletters, and website content.
Healthcare is where I’ve done some of my most meaningful work, and the reason is personal.
My why
In 2016, I married a man with end-stage renal disease, Stage 4 cancer, and a list of specialists who never talked to each other. I became his primary caregiver:
- Managing medications
- Dealing with primary and secondary insurances
- Coordinating between 10 providers
- Running dialysis from home every night
I wasn’t a nurse or a clinician. I was someone who just had to figure it out.
The tools and information existed, but no one ever explained any of it in language a person in crisis could actually use.
I built my own systems:
- A medication spreadsheet
- A symptom log
- A set of questions I brought to every appointment, because the platforms weren’t built with caregivers like me in mind.
My husband died at 41. That whole experience didn’t just change how I think about healthcare. It changed what I think content is for.

My AI writing policy
I use AI as a research and workflow tool to transcribe interviews, summarize sources, pressure-test outlines, and catch what I missed in a final pass.
I don’t use it to write your content. The thinking, the strategy, and the writing come from me.
If you’d prefer I don’t use AI at all in our work together, I’ll honor that. Either way, what you’re getting is my writing experience applied to your specific problem.
