MY STORY

How it all began

Back in the late '90s, fresh from completing my Master's in Translation in London, I found myself fascinated by the challenge of preserving both technical accuracy and brand voice in specialized industries.

As I worked with various translation agencies and dove into software localization in Taiwan, I noticed a recurring problem: highly specialized content often lost its precision or impact when crossing language barriers. Technical terms became inconsistent, brand voices became generic, and the subtle nuances that make products compelling disappeared entirely.

That's when I realized that brands with complex products and technical expertise needed more than just translation—they needed a language partner who truly understood their industry, their terminology, and their communication challenges.

After settling near Grasse—a region where technical expertise meets sensory marketing in the natural ingredients sector—I found my perfect niche. I've spent years developing specialized knowledge that bridges the gap between scientific precision and compelling communication.

MY VALUES

My approach to specialized translation and communication is shaped by core values that influence every project I take on:

The best translators are perpetually curious. I actively seek to expand my knowledge of your industry, asking questions and researching beyond the immediate project needs to develop deeper understanding that improves future work.

What drives my work

Authenticity

I believe in honest, transparent communication—both with my clients and in the content I create. No inflated promises, no unnecessary jargon, just genuine expertise and clear communication that builds trust.

Excellence

Good enough isn't good enough. I'm committed to delivering exceptional quality in every project, no matter the size. This means thorough research, meticulous attention to detail, and a refusal to cut corners even when deadlines get tight.

Curiosity

Integrity

Technical translation demands absolute accuracy. I won't guess at terminology or skip research steps to save time—I'll always ensure the information I translate is faithfully represented, even when that means asking more questions or doing additional research.

Collaboration

The best results come from true partnership. I value your expertise and feedback, working alongside your team rather than operating in isolation. This collaborative approach ensures the final content truly reflects your vision and meets your specific needs.

Simplicity

Complex ideas don't require complicated language. I believe in making specialized content as accessible as possible without sacrificing accuracy—finding the sweet spot where technical precision meets clear communication.

MY APPROACH

Everything I do is driven by a core set of principles that guide my approach to specialized communication. These values define how I work and the results I deliver.

No two brands are identical, and neither are their translation needs. I take time to understand your specific objectives, terminology preferences, and target audience before developing a tailored approach. Whether you need technical precision for regulatory documents or persuasive language for marketing materials, I adapt my process to deliver exactly what your content requires.

What sets me apart

NATURAL INGREDIENTS INSIDER

I've developed deep knowledge of natural ingredients, perfumery, and technical formulations—understanding not just the terminology, but the science behind it. This means I can accurately translate complex extraction processes, formulation techniques, and sensory profiles with the precision they deserve. When you're describing the difference between absolute and essential oil or detailing regulatory requirements, you need someone who speaks the language of your industry.

DIRECT ACCESS, ZERO FILTERS

I believe in eliminating unnecessary layers between client and translator. You'll work directly with me, ensuring your expertise and requirements are never diluted through multiple handoffs. This approach saves time, improves accuracy, and creates more authentic results.

TAILOR-MADE SOLUTIONS

TECHNICAL MEETS CREATIVE

Technical knowledge without marketing finesse creates dry, ineffective content. Creative writing without technical understanding creates inaccurate, potentially misleading content. I bridge these worlds, delivering translations that are both scientifically accurate and genuinely engaging.

BUILT FOR THE LONG RUN

I'm not interested in one-off projects—I want to become a trusted partner in your international growth. By developing deep understanding of your products, terminology, and brand voice over time, I deliver increasingly valuable results and maintain perfect consistency across all your communications. This long-term perspective ensures your messaging remains coherent and powerful as your global presence expands.

IMMERSED IN INDUSTRY EVOLUTION

My expertise stays fresh through continual immersion in the natural ingredients ecosystem. Living near Grasse—the world's perfume capital—gives me unique access to the complete fragrance and natural ingredients value chain. Beyond the technical aspects, I maintain a deep familiarity with perfume composition principles, olfactory families, and sensory description techniques that help your products connect emotionally with consumers. I track innovations in packaging, sustainable practices, and marketing approaches while appreciating the rich heritage and history that gives context to modern developments. This blend of technical understanding and marketing awareness is complemented by ongoing study of inclusive writing practices, persuasive copywriting techniques, and effective storytelling methods that enhance your brand's impact across cultures.

A STRATEGIC PARTNER, NOT JUST A TRANSLATOR

I don't just translate words—I help you achieve communication goals. This means asking the right questions about purpose and context, offering insights on cultural adaptation, and suggesting improvements when appropriate. I become a true extension of your team, providing strategic language guidance that supports your broader business objectives.

I am extremely satisfied with this product! It exceeded my expectations with its quality and performance. The customer service was excellent, and delivery was prompt. I highly recommend this to everyone.
