About

I’m Yanan Lin, a multilingual content writer, editor and communications professional based in Paris, working across Chinese, French and English.

My professional experience includes cultural journalism at Time Out Shanghai, international media relations at Neri & Hu Design and Research Office, and digital communications for cultural institutions and luxury brands at Zionsay in Paris.

More recently, I have worked on English-to-French localization quality review for serialized drama scripts, focusing on linguistic accuracy, naturalness, terminology consistency and cultural adaptation.

Portfolio Lin Yanan

With eight years of professional experience in the media and communication industry in China, including roles as a magazine journalist and a public relations assistant for an architectural firm, this project showcases a curated portfolio of my past written works. The collection highlights diverse themes, including urban renewal, architectural humanities, critiques of art exhibitions, and interviews with artists, etc. Through these writings, I aim to explore and articulate the intricate connections between urban spaces, cultural heritage, and the arts, offering insights into how cities evolve and inspire creativity. This project serves as a testament to my commitment to storytelling, bridging the worlds of architecture, culture, and media. The original textes are in Chinese, and I translated them into French and then made this portfolio in 2023 to apply for a graduate program in France. writing
