ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome to my portfolio.

My name is Svitlana Urbanska, and I am a certified English | Spanish → Ukrainian Audiovisual and Literary Translator based in Lviv, Ukraine.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Translation and Contrastive Linguistics from Lviv Ivan Franko National University, with a specialization in English–Ukrainian translation, Spanish, and language teaching.

Languages and literature have been my passion since childhood, and this passion continues to shape my career. I constantly refine my skills—attending professional training, exploring new languages (currently studying Polish and advancing my Spanish), and seeking inspiration through travel.

I began translating creative content as early as my school years, which later grew into a full-fledged professional path. Alongside translation, I gained experience as an ESL instructor, teaching Ukrainian adults. At present, I also work as a Localization Project Manager at the global multilingual content agency Locaria, where I manage diverse translation and localization projects. Also I translate literature for various publishing houses.

Beyond my professional life, I find inspiration in reading, gardening, running, cinema, and writing poetry. In Lviv, I organize a movie club and a Spanish-speaking meet-up, bringing together locals and travellers through culture and language.

I’ll be glad to help you out with your projects.
