Programme texts, exhibition materials, arts criticism, press releases, grant documentation, and international correspondence for cultural institutions and festivals. Work for Fundação EDP / Revista Electra — translating philosophical essays and critical texts for one of Portugal's most rigorous bilingual publications (issues nº 20 and 21, 2023) — and for PédeXumbo, the organisation behind Andanças, Portugal's largest traditional music and dance festival, across two seasons of communications and international documentation.

Cultural adaptation of video game scripts and advertising content for dubbing — balancing register, timing, and idiomatic precision — with BlueLab Produções (2023).
Business documents, management reports, consulting materials, and operational content.
