Translation, in the broader sense
Translation is about more than moving between languages. More often, it means asking what needs to be conveyed, to whom, and in what form.
My work sits at the intersection of language, publishing, communication and cultural mediation. I work with cultural institutions, public organisations, companies and independent initiatives, developing content and projects that travel across languages, media and cultural contexts.
Sometimes that means translating; sometimes writing, rewriting, interviewing, shaping a publication or finding the right voice for it. At other times, it means taking specialist or institutional material and making it clear without stripping away its complexity.
The underlying question is always the same: how can something change form without losing its meaning? How can it be precise without becoming opaque, accessible without oversimplifying, faithful not simply to the words themselves but to the context that gives them meaning?
The projects presented here are some of the ways I have approached that question.
