Translation

Hello! I’m James Landry, a certified translator based in the Gatineau-Ottawa region, member of the Ordre des traducteurs, terminologues et interprètes agréés du Québec.

I offer translation, postedition, proofreading, design and illustration services.

I have degrees in both graphic design and translation, plus over a decade of experience in communications. My core strength resides in this combination of language and visual skills: I can adapt translations to fit your design templates’ space requirements, and I can adapt branding to make space for translations.

Past work involved the tourism industry, high technology, entrepreneurship, and marketing.
