About me
A native of the Somerset coast, my fascination for German was ignited during a family holiday to Würzburg aged 15, when, transfixed by the language’s unfamiliar guttural sounds, I resolved to learn it. Fast forward some 30+ years and this fascination has evolved into a deep interest in the often disparate thought processes that inform the written word in English and German.
I indulge this interest through my work as a translator, copywriter and editor. For over ten years now, I have specialised in crafting stylish, culturally sensitive texts for major German corporations, including all major German automotive companies, as well as government bodies, NGOs and cultural institutions.
