Summary

Texts that redefine your brand or simply connect you to the outside world - my language that your customers understand. Be it provocative, playful or down-to-earth, we work together to find the right tone. I'm a freelancer through and through. A full-time and professional for almost a decade. Born in Germany, I grew up bilingual due to my British father and am a native speaker in both languages. I have lived and worked in English speaking countries such as Canada and England. I have worked both in the project management & translation field in the Video games Industry since 2009 as well as a freelance journalist since 2017. My clients include Red Bull, Komoot or the magazine Mtbrider.
