About me

Solid background in medicine and science, with a broad interest also in the arts (e.g. history). Also great experience as a freelance writer/journalist.

 Working in team with my wife Karin Nettelblad (with 21 years experience), one of us translating, the other one editing/proofreading the text. We - and our clients - have found that this renders a superior result, with translations that read like originals, without any non-idiomatic phrasings or ambiguities.
