I’ve spent 20+ years helping games feel like they belong, wherever in the world they’re played. That’s meant working on 30+ titles across Microsoft, Blizzard, and now Lionbridge Games, from the original Xbox era through to the AI-assisted workflows studios are adopting today.

The thing that hasn’t changed in all that time is what matters most: a skilled linguist who understands the culture, the player and the game. I write about that here. The craft, the industry, and where it’s all heading.
