Freelance Translator & Copywriter
Helping organisations of all shapes and sizes bring their stories to life
From snappy straplines and socials to website copy, impact reports, subtitling and everything in between, I provide a professional translation service from English to Welsh. I'm a member of Cymdeithas Cyfieithwyr Cymru (the association of Welsh translators and interpreters).
Want your copy to sing? I write creative copy for things, people and places. So, whether you're staring at a blank page and not sure how to get started, or fine-tuning a document, I'm here to help. Copywriting services available in English and Welsh.
With over a decade's experience of working in-house, I know the pressures, time constraints and expectations that organisations are facing. I lead campaigns from start to finish, have a keen eye for detail and am happy to roll up my sleeves and fill in the gaps where additional support is needed.
Expert guidance on Welsh language matters. With plenty of experience of shaping and leading on Welsh language strategies, I have the knowledge to provide guidance on legal requirements and the passion for bilingualism to support Welsh-speaking staff in their roles. I am here to guide and support.
Born and raised in mid Wales, I'm a first-language Welsh speaker with a passion for storytelling and the arts. Having spent over a decade working for leading Welsh arts and culture organisations, I became a freelance translator and copywriter in 2022, and have been trusted by a growing portfolio of clients ever since.
My skill lies in telling the story of brilliant places and bringing to life what they live and breathe. I'm a certified member of the Association of Welsh Language Translators and Interpreters. My clients come from the fields of arts and culture, science, health, sport, education and more.
I live in Cardiff with my husband and daughter.

Working with Mair is nothing short of a pleasure. She's an experienced, wise professional who seems totally unflappable when rising to a challenge or reacting to a curved ball. She led on the comms for a large video campaign we were delivering in 2026, and we were struck by her creativity and flair, alongside a clear strategic sense. Mair's excellent facility in both Welsh and English add to her overall skillset. We'll continue to work with her whenever we have the opportunity.
We worked with Mair extensively during 2023-24 to bring the Welsh language side of our website to life. From creative copywriting to standard translation, proofreading and sense-checking, Mair delivered at every level for us. Committed, professional and flexible in her approach, she has a good eye for detail and possesses an inherent skill in her use of language. Her background in marketing and communications means she has a natural understanding of the intent of the writing, as well as the more obvious comprehension of the copy, and it has been a genuine pleasure to work with her on the project. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her work to others and hope to be able to continue to work with her on other projects in future.
We've worked with Mair at Film Hub Wales now for several years in her capacity as a Welsh translator. Mair is always thorough and reads the work carefully to understand tone and nuances. She's always responsive, approachable and reliable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for quality translation services.
Whether you need specific details about a translation package or want to discuss a potential project, I'm here to help.
