Andromeda Translations was born out of a desire to practice all my professional skills under the same umbrella. As a translator, I find it extremely satisfying to puzzle out the difficult bits until the pieces fall into place; as an editor, I love figuring out the best version of the text on a small and large scale alike. The creativity and variety of this work is everything.

Even though Andromeda Translations has been built with a focus on the creative fields, I do offer translation and editing services for non-fiction document translation as well. I am especially happy to do document jobs for non-profit organisations and other small business owners.

The values that direct my business life as much as my personal life are based on intersectional feminism:

• equality
• accessibility
• anti-racism
• anti-homofobia and anti-transfobia
• sustainability in all areas of private and public life, including social, financial and ecological sustainability

My goal is for Andromeda Translations to be a language-service provider known not only for end-product quality, but for a steadfast values-first approach, strong collaborative relationships, and the love of the game shining through.

I am Ele (they/he), a translator and language professional by trade and a Tampere University MA graduate in multilingual communication and translation studies by degree.

Ever since childhood, I have passionately loved reading, and so I have made my career working in literature. I am particularly fond of queer topics and marginalised writers of all stripes, being queer and disabled myself.

To counter the desk job, I enjoy aerial acrobatics and singing. I live in Joensuu, Finland with my partner and our rescue dog Tatti.
