01 / About

Translation is listening twice.

I work where language and intent meet. Every assignment starts with the source, but the destination is always a living piece of communication, natural to read, accurate in meaning and right for its audience.

Voice before vocabulary.

My practice balances linguistic precision with register, rhythm, terminology and cultural context. The goal is never a sentence that merely survives translation; it is a sentence that belongs.
