Previous projects include the likes of Project CARS and Pokkén Tournament. I can provide a more complete list upon request.

25 years of playing games and 3 years of translating them has taught me that some of the best games tell a story. The best kind of localization keeps that story intact.
Vital stats:
- Over 500,000 characters localized and counting
- Japanese-English (SEA/US) language pair
- Genres: sci-fi; action; VR; mecha; fighting games; tactical; RPG; melee; musou; comedy; gag; simulation games; rhythm games; casual games.
- I also translate PVs, press releases, art books, and other marketing material.

A lifelong gamer and Japanese student, I've translated over 750,000 characters of games for both online and console environments, primarily RPGs. I obsess over making sure that every sentence sounds smooth and natural without losing any of the flavor of the source text.

You worked tirelessly to bring your game to life. I'll work just as hard to ensure it lives in English, too.

All of my work is triple-checked for accuracy and I don't stop until the work is perfect.
