About Me
Hello, my name is Ka Yee — thank you for viewing my profile!
I’m a
Chartered Linguist (Translation) and highly experienced
Chinese-to-English translator, specialising in
official documents, c
onfidential communications (such as whistleblower reports and legal messages), and
marketing materials. I offer a rare combination of linguistic precision, cultural insight, and professional integrity, ensuring that every translation is accurate, culturally sensitive, and tailored to your needs.
Since becoming a freelancer in 2015, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients – from individuals and SMEs to global brands – delivering high-quality translations with care and consistency. Before freelancing, I built my expertise as an in-house translator and sub-editor at Christie’s and NET-A-PORTER.
I am a member of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (CIOL) and adhere to its Code of Professional Conduct, engaging in regular CPD to ensure my skills remain sharp and up to date.
Let’s connect – I’d be happy to discuss how I can support your next project.
