Bio

From 1 January 2016: Translations directly into your InDesign file! Saving you time and money and avoiding mistakes during copy transfer by your graphic designers. It's not their job!


I have a background in marketing, the arts and print media, and have worked freelance for several years for the Tate Gallery St Ives. My first class degree in Visual Culture, a Media, Communications and Social Studies course focussed on critical analytical methods in all major philosophical fields. I subsequently successfully used my qualification in the areas of advertising/marketing and PR within the following sectors: arts and crafts, education, public and private sector PR, tourism and fashion. In 2007 I conducted my own research on waste management and recycling in the UK and since then I have actively been campaigning for waste-reduction, more recently through my visual blog on Instagram,  where you can find me @wastefreeseas.

Since 2013 I have been teaching non-English speakers English in the beautiful seaside resort of St. Ives, Cornwall. More details on this and other past work can be found on my websites: www.englishplus.info (in English) or www.englischkursstives.co.uk (auf Deutsch).

Past work examples:

- Proofread the Environment Switzerland Report 2018 (221 pages/56,000 words)

- Book translation:
‘Ceramics: A Lifelong Passion’ by Peter Siemssen, published in 2008

- Successful website localisation of various tourism sites.

- Copywriting for various businesses, including web copy, Press Releases, etc.

- Translations for a global manufacturer of construction chemicals, including company in-house magazine, manuals, and technical information, press releases, situations vacant ads and all other marketing and promotional copy (MC-Bauchemie Mueller GmbH & Botament). 

- Translations and interpreting for Tate Gallery St Ives
- to name but a few!

- Published author in 'Ceramic Review' 2005, 'Cornwall Life' Dec. 2008, 'Cornwall Life' April 2009. 

I love skiing and the past three winter seasons I spent in the French Alps, working, skiing and taking pictures of the beautiful snow-capped mountains. I am currently working on a photo-book, to be published at the end of this year.
