My biography and experience

How can I help you to make your story accessible to others?

Hi, I'm Johanna, a German native speaker and fluent in English.

My professional background is in North American Studies and English Studies, with professional translation experience in game localization and web stories.

I enjoy reading up on a variety of subjects from maritime history and Cold War politics to social change, ecology, and future studies.

But telling stories will always be closest to my heart. And stories are everywhere, not only in books, movies, or video games. If you have a project that needs to be translated, chances are you're telling a story.

And I love localizing stories so that more people can experience them. I have a particular interest in adapting your projects for a new audience (maintaining intent and style) and a flair for even the smallest mistakes. I enjoy being thorough and reliable.

So, how can I help you to tell your story?
