01 / THE SPECIALISTA direct connection, from first brief to final file.
A personal touch.
A professional standard.
Good subtitles let the audience stay in the story. That takes language, cultural context, and a careful eye for every line.
I’m a Chinese native speaker with a background in translation, localization project management, and international client work. Independent since 2016, I bring that experience directly to your project.
