About me

Photo showing the face of Ian Winick

Originally from Dublin, I’ve spent half a lifetime abroad, first studying in France and then moving to Germany. I’ve lived in Cologne ever since, having set up as a freelance translator and copywriter back in 2003 after a spell in the market research sector.

I have a BA in International Marketing & Languages from Dublin City University, with first-class honours in both French and German. As well as this, I obtained a Certificate in Accounting from the Open University as an additional qualification for my financial translation work.

When not at my desk, you’ll generally find me on the tennis court, walking by the Rhine, cooking with my wife or curled up with a good book and a glass of Italian red.

  • As we serve customers all over the world, we decided to hire a copywriter to write all of our press releases and new website content in English directly. Ian came highly recommended – and sees to all our translation needs as well!

  • Ever since I first worked with Ian in 2019, he has been my translator of choice for everything I publish in English. As well as taking great care and precision in his work, he is well attuned to the nuances and subtleties that are the hallmarks of a superior art translation.
