I am a language professional with roots in Canada and Scandinavia, but currently based in the Netherlands. I have 20+ years of translation and writing experience offering translation services from Japanese to English, and between Swedish and English. I specialize in translations for museums and publishers on art, culture, and humanities topics.

I also have a background in library & information science, and international development.

My goal as a translator and writer is transcreation. Simply put, I help clients communicate effectively by translating and creating texts that match the local preferences of the target audience.

Whether identifying the exact terminology, or finding an elusive quote, research is a major part of the translation process. As a qualified information professional and former librarian, I am skilled at managing, verifying and organizing information.

Are you buying translation services for yourself, for your institution, or for your company? Large or small, get in touch for a no-obligations quote.

Translation from Start to Finish

When you contact me about a project, I will ask you some questions to make sure I understand the purpose of your project, your target audience, and your specific needs. Of course, you can also ask me anything you need to know. The work starts once we are both happy and have agreed the terms.

I will always ask if you have any style sheets or reference materials for your project. As part of the research, I might read materials on your website, or consult publications, photographs, and online resources.

Once completed, the text goes through a process of checks and revisions before I deliver the project in the agreed format. If you have any queries about the completed work, I’m happy to discuss.
