About me
or the story of how this came to be
why spanish for games?
Passion for Indie Games
Spanish for Games was built on a simple conviction: Spanish-speaking players deserve more than a translation, they deserve a game that feels made for them.
After years working as a legal and medical interpreter for US healthcare systems, and later as a translator for paralegal teams, I developed something most localization agencies can't offer: an instinct for precision trained under real consequences, combined with a deep understanding of how language actually moves between cultures and not just between dictionaries.
When I discovered game localization, it brought everything together: the technical discipline of professional language services, the cultural fluency of a native speaker, and the literary instinct of a writer.
Spanish for Games is the result. I'm here to help you reach Latin American players not just in their language, but in their world, with the cultural resonance and narrative precision your game deserves.
