Hi, I'm Aycan Aka. I'm a translator and editor with a passion for turning complex ideas into clear, accessible text across languages and cultures. I have built and led editorial teams, managed translation projects, and produced PR materials, press kits and social content for publishers and NGOs. I thrive in collaborative environments where accuracy, deadlines and formatting guidelines matter. I've worked on casework interviews for immigration services, edited academic books, and supported design and communications teams in delivering consistent, polished content. I enjoy bridging gaps between languages and disciplines, from social media copy to press releases, and I stay curious about new tools and workflows that help storytelling shine.
