SpainWhat I'm looking for
I am a translator, localization specialist and UX writer with extensive experience in technology, literature, media and humanitarian affairs, working primarily between English, Spanish and Catalan.
As a freelancer since 2019 I provide translation, project management and writing services for clients such as Space Ape, Inkitt, Drata, Plan A, SAGA Egmont, WhoisXMLAPI and DICE, focusing recently on literature-related projects.
In in-house and contractor roles I built localization systems, managed LQA and freelance teams across many languages, and produced UX copy, microcopy and documentation for design systems and product content.
I hold a BA in Translation & Interpreting and an MA in Conference Interpreting, plus UX/Localization training; I emphasize consistency, voice & tone, and seamless multilingual experiences.
