About

Some people read a text.
I listen to it.

I hear the rhythm of a sentence, the tempo of a paragraph, the note a word is reaching for. Maybe it's because I play clarinet — jazz, of course.

I'm a freelance translator specialising in fashion, luxury and travel — ESIT-trained, with 18+ years of experience and a Lonely Planet contributor since 2024. I don't just translate your content: I transcreate it, preserving the tone, the intent, and the music of your words.
