High-tech

Technology and computers were my first big loves. I’m a geek myself, my best friends are geeks, and I have a Master’s in Human Aspects of Information Technology. I help IT and greentech companies with a huge spectrum of projects, because I’m especially flexible in these areas. Benefit from my techspertise, which I’m always building on. I can even “speak” a few programming languages. I’m not really fluent, but I can read the menu at least.

Through my enthusiasm for technology, I make your technical copy and translations understandable and interesting for English-speaking readers.

High-end

When the pressure is on, you need someone you can trust to deliver. My diligence, creativity, strategic mind mean my clients can rely on me for their mission-critical English-language projects.

What sort of projects might that be? Think important investor communications, urgent press releases, brand assets, or coffee-table books on exceptional real estate developments. Or perhaps your submission to a major competition, too: this investment has paid off several times over for some clients, in the form of three Red Dot Awards for Communication Design and other real estate sector awards. Better English gets better results.

High-profile

If it matters, do it right: I am a copywriter and translator for everything high-profile and prominent. Maybe you have other solutions for everything else. Maybe you handle all your other communications and translations in-house. Or maybe the usual copywriters, technical translators, translation agencies, content writers or agencies aren’t hitting the right note when it counts.

You only get one chance to make a first impression – and I’m what you need to get it right with large audiences and key decision-makers. Whether it’s a prominent website, your corporate identity and branding documents, a corporate film, press releases, or an advertising campaign: I’ll ensure your priority project gets the positive attention it deserves.

Berlin

Can you be a fan of the city you lived in? I’m a Berliner by choice – and I know my way around. On both sides of the old border, and along the vast routes of the BVG: Ick liebe Berlin in all its dirty, shiny, and sometimes slimy facets.

This fascination with Berlin can also be seen in my loving translations about great artistic and cultural projects, as well as large architectural understakings in real estate and urban development – evolving the face of the city I adore. The award-winning book about the Tacheles project, translated by yours truly, is now being read around the world. But there are many other books and projects, ranging from Urbane Mitte at Gleisdreieck to GLINT at Gendarmenmarkt to a very prominent but as yet unnamable project at the centre of Alexanderplatz.

It’s always easier to market something when you’re already a believer yourself. It’s easy for me to market Berlin as a place to live, work, exhibit, create, evolve, and be – because I love Berlin, too.

Example clients:

Real estate companies and developers – mainly in urban development and commercial and premium residential real estate, with a focus on Berlin and its surroundings. Berlin-based companies that share my love for the German capital. Marketing companies and advertising agencies that have a connection with Berlin. Semi-governmental projects that want to share the wonder of Berlin with the world.

Berlin expertise:

• Berlin’s history • the GDR • reunification • architecture • food and drink (gastronomy) • urban development • new construction projects • startups • art and culture • trends • politics • BVG • my own special take on a vegan currywurst

I also have a great network and was a member of the Berlin Marketing Club prior to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Types of texts:

• advertising • coffee-table books on real-estate projects, especially with culture-related content • website copy on Berlin-based companies or projects • brochures • company presentations • explainer videos • press releases • product launches • event info
