About Me

I am a multidisciplinary creative specialist with a combined background in branding, video production, animation, and multilingual communication. My professional path integrates over 15 years of experience as an English and Chinese translator and educator with several years of work in the creative and advertising industry. This blend of linguistic expertise and visual creativity allows me to deliver content that is both aesthetically strong and strategically aligned with a brand’s identity.

Language & Communication Expertise

My academic background is in linguistics and pedagogy, which formed the basis of my career as a teacher and translator of English and Chinese. Over more than a decade and a half, I developed a deep understanding of language structure, tone, cultural context, and communication strategy. This experience taught me to adapt messages precisely to different audiences and cultural environments. It also strengthened my ability to convey ideas clearly, accurately, and with attention to nuance—skills that directly support my work in digital content creation, localization, and brand messaging.

Creative & Branding Background

Since 2018, I have been involved in the creative and advertising field, where I gained practical experience with branding, visual identity, storytelling, and art direction principles. Working in this environment helped me understand how visuals, text, and strategy come together to shape a coherent brand narrative. I approach content holistically, considering not only aesthetics but also the underlying communication goals and audience expectations. Whether I work on a video, an animation, or a piece of translated text, I prioritize clarity, emotional connection, and brand consistency.

Video Editing & Motion Design

My work in video editing and 2D animation includes creating content for social media, ads, educational platforms, and personal branding. I produce dynamic edits, smooth transitions, motion graphics, and animated elements that enhance storytelling and audience engagement. My recent training in animation expanded my technical skillset and allowed me to incorporate more expressive visual techniques into my projects.

Translation & Localization

I provide professional translation and localization between English, Chinese, and Russian. My approach combines linguistic accuracy with cultural sensitivity, ensuring that every text preserves tone, meaning, and style. This is especially valuable for marketing content, subtitles, scripts, tutorials, and branded communication.

What I Offer

I bring clients a rare combination of creative production skills and deep linguistic knowledge. My work is detail-oriented, timely, culturally aware, and aligned with brand strategy. I enjoy helping clients shape clear, engaging, and authentic communication across both visual and verbal formats.
