I am an international localisation and brand voice consultant specialising in English–French transcreation for luxury and global lifestyle brands. My background spans editorial and marketing roles at Vogue International, ASOS, and RadSwan, with experience across fashion, beauty, and e-commerce. This combination of editorial and commercial work informs how I approach localisation today — ensuring that brand voice, tone, and cultural nuance remain consistent across markets. I support brands with language strategy, brand voice adaptation, and cultural localisation, helping teams communicate clearly and confidently during periods of international growth and expansion. I often work with brands entering or scaling within French-speaking markets, ensuring their voice travels across cultures with clarity and credibility. My academic background in journalism focused on global media and cultural adaptation, with research centred on how international brands translate identity across cultures. Alongside my consultancy work, I am building a specialist studio focused on cross-cultural brand positioning and editorial-led localisation, launching later this year.
