About

I am a Swedish subtitler, translator, screenwriter, and video editor with a strong background in film, art, literature, music, philosophy, and media. I subtitle films from English and German into Swedish, adapting dialogue to its tone, style, pacing, and cultural context while following industry guidelines. My work has included films such as “Limonov – The Ballad of Eddie,” “Dying,” “Riefenstahl,” “Odyssey,” and “The 20th Century.”

I enjoy finding the clearest and most expressive way to communicate complex ideas, whether I am translating, researching, writing, or editing. My experience includes German-to-Swedish translation, proofreading, machine translation post-editing, documentary research, screenwriting in English, and editing art videos and short films. I am detail-oriented, comfortable with deadlines and feedback, and bring a storyteller’s sensitivity to every project.
