About Me


Hello, my name is Ka Yee! Thank you for viewing my profile. 

I am a highly experienced Chinese-to-English translator specialising in official documents, confidential communications, and marketing materials. I bring a unique combination of linguistic precision, cultural insight, and professional expertise to every project, ensuring translations that are accurate, culturally nuanced, and tailored to my clients’ needs.

Since becoming a freelancer in 2015, I have worked on a wide range of projects for individuals, businesses, and multinational corporations. Prior to freelancing, I honed my skills as an in-house translator and sub-editor for prestigious companies like Christie’s and NET-A-PORTER.
