Saraswati Vadnais ✏️

Turning complex ideas into clear, accessible content for diverse audiences.

Hi there! I’m Saraswati. I have experience in technical documentation (including API documentation and external guides), training, and instructional design. I worked as a technical writer at Visa for two years, and am currently a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Taiwan. I’m looking for new opportunities when I return to Boston in July 2025. Check out my work.

Outside of nerding out over English grammar, I enjoy painting, trying out coffee shops, and learning new languages. Talk to me about documenting payments APIs or teaching phonics to 6th graders!
