Portfolio
I have been translating professionally in many spheres of the media since the early 1990s. My many contacts and regular journeys, for instance to Britain and America, help me cultivate my English.
My understanding of German comes from living in Germany, diverse activities for a variety of media and from my own work as an author in German: a book about cartoons in Germany (Karikatur im Kontext) and various contributions for exhibition catalogues, journals and radio. various contributions for exhibition catalogues, journals and radio. For my most recent work as a writer and illustrator, a bilingual children’s book, click on ‘Projects’.
