I am available for manuscript/book project evaluation, design and concept consultation, developmental editing, and contributing to the writing and translating of selected manuscripts. Since 2011, I direct and manage the small press and publishing atelier, K. Verlag, in Berlin. So far, we’ve produced more than 30 publications in various formats, including several that received design awards. In May 2020, K. Verlag was also named a recipient of the prestigious Deutscher Verlagspreis (German Publishing Prize), which is awarded annually to honor outstanding independent publishers by the Federal Ministry of Culture. In addition to my experience of running K., I have also worked as an freelance editor and translator for art institutions, magazines, publishers, universities, and individuals in Germany and abroad. This includes editorial positions at Merve Verlag (2008–11) and the digital culture festival, transmediale (2009–12), as well as being the Associate Editor of Publications for the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art (2014).

I work mainly on German and English language publications. Current and previous clients include: Bergen Assembly, Norway; Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Documenta 14, Kassel; Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin; Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Kulturamt Berlin-Neukölln; Kunstmuseum Winterthur, Switzerland; Kunstverein Hamburger Bahnhof, Hamburg; KW – Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin; Ludwig Forum, Aachen; Merve Verlag, Berlin; Museum für Angewandte Kunst, Frankfurt/Main; NGbK, Berlin; segeband.pr, Berlin; Sleek Magazine, Berlin; transmediale, Berlin; ZAK Group, London; Frieze d/e, Berlin.

I love working as a translator, and do German to English and English to German for essays, interviews, film and video art subtitles, and scholarly articles—and have so far also translated three full books. Authors whose work I have translated include: Vinit Agarwal, Marwa Arsanios, Ariella Aisha Azoulay, Eugen Blume, Edna Bonhomme, Chuck Close, Chto Delat, Kodwo Eshun, Mark Fisher, Raphael Fonseca, Natasha Ginwala, Stefan Heidenreich, Thomas Hirschhorn, Gabriele Knapstein, Andre Lepecki, Armin Linke, Resa Negarestani, John Palmesino, Chris Pinney, Nina Power, Paul B.
