About Me

Hi, I'm Taylor Finney, a multi-media translator and linguist based in Taipei.

I have studied and worked in Chinese-English translation since 2020, but translation is much more than just language transfer. Today, I seek to explore how the field of translation can help us understand the increasingly complex communicative landscape that is our modern world.

Professional Background

After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Apparel Merchandising & Design in 2013, I began my career as a product developer for the fashion industry in Los Angeles, California. During business trips, I received my first exposures to East Asia, and the curiosity sparked during those trips stayed with me.

In 2018, I relocated to Taipei, Taiwan to study Traditional Chinese. I graduated from National Taiwan Normal University in 2023 with a Master of Arts in Translation & Interpretation Studies.

Today, I work as an editor and translator in Taipei.

By night, I consider the links between fashion, translation, and culture.
