Why work with me

Why choose me for your project

Three things clients consistently tell me matter most when they come back for their next project.

On-time, every time

Every quote comes with a firm deadline, and I hold to it. If a project runs long, you'll hear about it before the deadline — not after.

Native-level quality

Every translation is checked for accuracy, tone, and natural phrasing — not just word-for-word correctness — so it reads like it was written for your audience.

One point of contact

You work directly with me from quote to delivery — no account managers, no hand-offs, no losing context between emails.

About me

I'm Nikki — a Taiwan-based freelance subtitle translator and AI language trainer with a background spanning international business, visual design, and media arts (MFA, UNSW).

From Netflix drama to Qualcomm tech content and mobile game localisation, I bring cultural precision and linguistic care to every project — whether the tone is dramatic, cosy, or deeply technical.

A working holiday in Australia and years of cross-border work give me the lived cultural range that pure language training can't teach.
