Communicate better.

Cultural interpretation is our superpower. When language can be a barrier to growth for individuals and shared vision for communities, we create connection by bringing a culturally competent perspective to the table. Our cross-cultural facilitation experience and expertise in language, intonation and cultural norms all help us to help you communicate better.

We are a team of dynamic facilitators with expertise in Spanish-English translation, transcreation, and interpretation. In Portland Oregon USA and Buenos Aires, Argentina we have completed projects within the areas of water, public works, planning, community development, visioning, capital improvement programs, transportation campaigns, in-person interpreting, website & document translations, conflict resolution interpreting, and mediation.
