Available to hire
I’m Hitesh Mistry, a multidisciplinary professional with over 20 years of experience across pre-press, design, and copy. I started as a Cameraman and Drum Scanner Operator, developed a keen eye for colour and detail, and honed skills in image retouching, masking, typography and layout. My journey bridged hands-on technical production with creative storytelling, leading me to fall in love with copy and language.
Today I focus on TransCreation, translation, and copy editing across English, Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi, blending linguistic precision with cultural nuance. With AI entering every corner of our work, my cross-domain background enables me to contribute uniquely to multidisciplinary teams, ensuring smooth linguistic operations and high-quality content.
