Professional Background:

Since 2003 I have worked freelance as a translator and prepress/DTP specialist for translation agencies and local printers, utilizing my extensive language abilities and DTP skills. Along with this I offer quality proof reading, editing and quality assurance.

I have worked as a graphic artist for over 10 years. For six of those, I worked for one of Atlanta's premier publishing prepress companies. This enabled me to thoroughly learn Desktop Publishing. Client projects include top national monthly magazines, high-end catalogs, and nationwide advertising campaigns.
