📚 Storytelling


Hi, I'm Elisa. I'm a freelance copywriter and translator based in Flanders, Belgium.

I have been in love with books since I was a little kid. That lead to a fascination with languages so the choice to go study Applied Linguistics and Translation at the University of Antwerp was really a no-brainer.

During my studies I spent one semester at the University of Trieste in Italy and an entire academic year at University College of London in the UK, both as an Erasmus exchange student.

After graduating I worked in a corporate environment for eight years, in various commercial functions where I operated as a liaison between customer, supplier, outside sales, admin and tech support. The sectors I worked in ranged from industrial (parts & maintenance service) to culinary.

During this time I discovered I had a knack for communication, especially when it came to transforming complex technical topics into clear and accessible information. Examples of this are internal communications such as extensive standard operating procedures as well as more concise memos on customer-specific requirements. An example of external B2C communication I particularly enjoyed was writing profiles on food suppliers for social media and newsletters. I also occasionally translated the labeling on food packaging.

At the start of 2023 I started my own business as a freelance copywriter and translator. My language pairs as a translator are Italian to Dutch and English to Dutch. As a copywriter I focus on storytelling. You never forget a good story and I believe this is the key to writing copy that converts.

Think we should work together?
