German to English, US English to UK English, translator, editor, cultural advisor, copywriter, facilitator Claire@metaphrazo.com Claire studied French and German at Oxford then translation and interpreting in Bath. She worked full time for the German government in Bonn for many years and has been freelancing from a range of locations ever since. Always there for the knotty questions, the conversations, the linguistic puzzles and the nitty gritty of voice and messaging, Claire delights in a job she can truly immerse herself in, hopefully adding value, quality and insight for clients and colleagues alike. A time zone-hopping genius for a couple of decades - ok, exhausted genius maybe – she currently works with clients from California to Germany and enjoys family and life in several different time zones in between and beyond. At times she finds that her dog’s profound sighs from the window seat in the home office somehow say it best.
