Looking for a versatile and experienced translator and proofreader to convey your message to the Dutch audience? One who knows how to work with translation memories, who is all too familiar with deadlines, who can be as flexible as needed for the job?

Then you've come to the right place.

I am a voracious researcher. In one week, I'll switch effortlessly from material safety data sheets and scientific papers to press releases, corporate communications or fiction. I am always up for manuals, whether it be for software, medical equipment or machinery.

I work with all major CAT tools, such as SDL Trados, Microsoft Localization Tools, Idiom Workbench, Alchemyst Catalyst and MemoQ. You want to bring in your own tools? No problem, I work with proprietary tools as well.

I am well-informed about industrial gases, chemicals and medical instruments. Promotion campaigns with juicy slogans are my favourite snacks.

To keep my creative writing skills up to par, I sometimes translate romance and suspense novels. Also, I work as a voluntary translator and reviewer of the world-renowned TED Talks.

My rates? For somebody with my background and level of experience, they're decent enough. Try me. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Translation is not what you're looking for? You want a Dutch language consultant? Or a copywriter with a flair for original and yet meaningful content? Again, you've come to the right place.

For a fixed hourly rate I'll help you with all your linguistic queries. I am Dutch, live in the Netherlands, and have been working with language all my life. When I'm not in the office, I am in my studio, painting and writing prose and poetry. I live, eat and breathe language. So, again. Try me. You'll be pleasantly surprised for sure.
