Bio
Looay Gharib
Working with Meike was a pleasure. Her attention to detail and communication line was fantastic. She used slack with us and communicated every day and went above and beyond what was expected, her working model is very transparent too. Looking forward to our next project Meike. Looay Kubix Media
Farrah Bulloch
I have worked with Meike on multiple occasions, and would definitely trust her with any translation task; not only because she‘s word-perfect but also because she’s extremely thorough in making sure she understands the requirements of the job before getting started. She always makes sure to keep communication open with her clients and often delivers well before deadline. I would 100% recommend her for any size of project!
