Senior DTP Specialist and Localization Specialist

I have worked as a freelance Senior DTP Specialist and Arabic-English translator for multiple companies around the world. I have handled a high volume of localization and multilingual publishing projects for clients including MSC, DAMAC, JEEP, and Airbus.

My responsibilities include document conversion, formatting, layout production, translation support, quoting, detailed client reporting, and ADA compliance requirements.

I worked as an English-Arabic and Arabic-English translator while also performing DTP specialist duties. This role expanded my experience in professional translation and multilingual document production.

I learned to use CAT tools alongside my translation and desktop publishing work, supporting a more structured localization workflow.

I manage multilingual projects for global clients from start to finish as a freelance graphic designer, DTP specialist, and localization specialist. My work includes formatting, layout, templating, transcription, video editing, studio work, and production delivery.

I also advise startups and project managers on approaches to complex localization projects, applying my experience in multilingual workflows, file preparation, and quality-focused delivery.

I worked as a contractor supporting localization vendor management for Uber USA. I contributed to the coordination and delivery of localization-related work in an international environment.

My experience as a localization specialist and DTP professional supported project workflow, vendor-facing communication, and quality-focused multilingual production.

I worked as a contractor for Language Link, a BIG Language Solutions company, as a Senior Graphic Designer and Desktop Publisher. I initially joined a major presidential voters' season project and was later selected to extend my contract and join the Professional Services Group.

I created templates from scratch, prepared quotes, formatted multilingual projects, and followed professional localization workflows. I prepared files for CAT tools, designed layouts, handled RTL languages, packaged files, and exported print-ready PDFs using multiple tools.

I was promoted to DTP Team Leader after more than a year with Crystal Minds. I trained and supervised a team of three individuals.

I supported team delivery by providing guidance on desktop publishing tasks, project instructions, quality expectations, and production workflows.

I started as a Desktop Publisher at Crystal Minds and completed training in transcription projects and production instructions. Within three months, I was able to demonstrate project processes to more than 20 individuals.

I developed foundational experience in transcription, desktop publishing, instruction compliance, formatting, and delivering work according to project requirements.

Bachelor's degree focused on Business Management and Information Systems.
