My story ♥

I am a Finnish language specialist, translator, copywriter, editor, and culture consultant. I have always loved stories, words, writing, reading and learning about different topics, languages and cultures. It shouldn’t be a surprise that Scrabble is my favorite game!

I love what I do – or should I say, I do what I love? I help others in getting their message out in the world, in the way they want it to sound. I enjoy coming up with creative ways to convey marketing messages. I always think about the reader, the viewer or the client and want to come up with copy that is effortless for the target audience to read and understand and resonates with them. Hopefully makes them smile (IF that is the goal)! :)

I have a BA in cultural management from University of Applied Sciences in Finland. I have worked for Finnish organizations and NGOs where I have been in charge of communications, media and marketing. I have combined my background with a good sense of language, creativity and communication skills to help companies with their translation, transcreation, copywriting, editing, proofreading, marketing and cultural consultancy needs.

My clients thank me for my great attention to detail, sticking to deadlines, answering emails quickly, having lots of ideas and putting my heart and soul to everything I do. Having lived both in the US and Finland, I am happy to serve as a bridge between the two cultures, both close to my heart.

In my freetime, I recharge my batteries reading books, listening to podcasts, playing New York Times word puzzles, kayaking, swimming in the sea (in the winter as well!), foraging, doing yoga, camping, watching movies, playing board games with my kids, making soap or dancing in my kitchen while cooking.

What is your story? Send me a note! I’d love to hear from you.
