Translating worlds, not just words
Translator and editor since 1999
Member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (London), Institute of Translators and Interpreters and Bund Deutscher Übersetzer. I provide meticulously crafted, bespoke translations from German to English. Specialisms include academic and policy articles, reports, books and websites, especially in the fields of history, economics, politics and sociology; art, textiles and fashion; marketing and legal texts; proofreading and editing.
Translation Specialisms
History, economics, politics (including policy briefs and position papers), sociology; contemporary art, including exhibition catalogues and captions, textiles, design and fashion; literature and literary theory, including gender theory and postcolonialism; legal (general legal texts) and HR; proofreading and editing, including post-editing. Most recently, I have translated Jan-Otmar Hesse’s 2023 monograph on Germany and its fascination with exports, forthcoming with Routledge. From 2023-25, I was engaged as copy-editor for the Routledge Handbook of Economic Expectations, a recently published, edited volume featuring 33 essays by internationally renowned economists and historians, and from 2025-2026, I translated and edited the volume Security and Risk: Challenges for Economy and Business in the Global 20th Century (published by Nomos Verlag in March 2026). My 2025 translation of an essay on two seminal female artists by the art historians Antje Schunke and Dr Maryna Streltsova for Kunsthalle Rostock is currently under peer review. Other projects include translating for two German arts universities, editing and translating for a Berlin think-tank on migration and integration; and working closely with Historicity GbR, a creative Berlin-based agency specialising in historical interpretation and cultural tourism. I also specialise in advising on the nuances of cultural exchange between Germany and the UK.
