Tekla was responsible for English to German localization on my team at Audible. She was instrumental in helping us build a voice for the German marketplace and maintained a high bar for framing the product’s value to our customers. She brought in deep industry knowledge and a visionary perspective, ensuring our customers understood the value Audible provided throughout every aspect of our experience. Tekla was seen as a leader not just by me but by every one of her peers. I truly cannot recommend Tekla enough as a team member and guiding light that can set a visionary tone for the voice of our product in Germany. 

It was truly a pleasure working with Tekla. Her reliability and professionalism are qualities I deeply admire. Tekla made a pivotal contribution to training our internal LLM-based translation tool for the German language that significantly improved the model’s output. She also created language-specific style guides and glossaries and took ownership of compiling legal terminology for all 12 supported languages.

I had the pleasure of working with Tekla at Audible during a pivotal time for our localization efforts. As a German linguist, she brought care and precision to every translation, always balancing customer clarity, brand voice and accessibility. Tekla helped establish our first German translation style guide, championed inclusive language, and co-led key workflows across markets. Whether you need a detail-oriented translator, content designer, or localization program manager, Tekla delivers with thoughtfulness and impact. I’d work with her again in a heartbeat.

“Tekla showed her creativity, reliability, flexibility, judgment and all-around superior website skills when we worked together. It required Tekla to function independently but as part of a far-flung team working on a rush project to build and support a content-rich advocacy website. Her professionalism is impeccable.”

“Thank you, from all of us, for your professionalism, responsiveness and attention to detail. Your expertise and competence helped us to complete the project on time. It’s been a pleasure to work with you. Your forward-thinking, professionalism, excellent writing, attention to detail and fast turnaround made my job very easy.”

“Tekla was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was always readily available to meet to discuss projects and processes as well as take on work. Our team was impressed with her editorial skills, especially when it came to reviewing translated content against our guidelines and brand voice.”

“Tekla worked as Homepage Editor for our U.S. News Portal mail.com and has been very successful in increasing the traffic on our editorial section. Besides being a joy to work with, Tekla is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and develop new concepts to increase web traffic.”

“Tekla has a unique mix of talents that make her an asset to any organization looking to communicate better digitally. She blends the best attributes of print journalism—strong reporting, writing and editing skills— with an in-depth understanding of web design, technology and usability.”

“Tekla was an amazing team member in a fast moving campaign. She added a new dimension to the group and fit well into the rapidly changing demands of the project. Tekla is highly recommended as an asset to anyone lucky enough to work with her.”

“Tekla is extremely intelligent, resourceful and hard-working. Oh, and did I mention she speaks five languages? She’s also dedicated and pays strict attention to detail. Tekla is a great addition to any team!”

“Tekla consistently approaches the problematic relationship of design to content (and vice versa) with thoughtfulness and a high standard in planning and execution. She is a compassionate listener and is fiercely organized and focused. Though you may classify her as your external resource, she will quickly become an indispensable part of your organization.”
