Bio
Nancy Spurling Johnson
As a contributing editor covering CAD-related technologies for the AEC field, Heather Livingston has completed a variety of writing assignments for Cadalyst over the past several years, including feature articles, trade show coverage, and more. I have worked with dozens of freelance writers and hundreds of contributing authors, and Heather is among the best. She is knowledgeable about her subject matter. She is smart, practical, resourceful, and connected. She listens to and follows direction but applies her own insight and effort to take an idea to the next level. She meets deadlines and submits some of the cleanest, most well-developed copy we ever see. Regardless of the assignment I give Heather, I’m confident she will always come through with an article that hits the mark. She makes an editor’s job easy and makes the publication look good. She is wonderfully personable as well. I highly recommend her on every level.

Even beyond her proven skills in writing about architectural design, sustainability, and practice technology is Heather's ability to set goals and adhere strictly to them. She also has an amazing ability of connecting with people who are very difficult to contact and using insight and charm to draw forth interviews that rivet the readers' attention.
