Bio

As a native German speaker I provide translations for a variety of fields. I enjoy researching the respective subject matters and have a passion for creative use of language.

Born and raised in Germany I am at home in South Africa since 2009. I not only work, but speak, think and dream in two languages I feel equally comfortable with: German and English.

My educational background and natural feel for language equip me with the necessary skills to bring your message across in all its facets.

I compose translations that take the target readers cultural outlook into account while making sure your voice is heard. So-called “transcreations” are the core of my business.

 

Being at home in two cultures - and thus two languages - as well as my background in linguistics and social anthropology help me to create culturally sensitive translations that neither lack creativity nor professionalism. Thorough research is an essential part of my work and enables me to provide you with accurate and high-standard translations.
