    ABOUT ME

    Hi, there! Thanks for stopping by!

    I’m Lena, a localization editor based out of sunny Southern California with a passion for bringing polished, professional content to fans all over the world.


    In an industry still shaking off the “niche” label and emerging into the mainstream, I know that respect for and connection with your audience are vital. After all, English-speaking anime and manga fans have more access and more choices now than ever before. They value quality, accuracy, and localization that both retains the true spirit of the original and at the same time delivers a narrative accessible and relatable to them. I share these values.

     

    Growing up as a fan myself, I have seen the industry grow and develop and diversify, have seen the quality of production go up, and have personally witnessed the commitment that professionals in the industry put into their work. I am equally committed to putting out the highest quality products for fans to enjoy.

     

    I believe in passionately produced content by fans and for fans— and I turn that same passion, dedication, and enthusiasm that goes into loving my favorite shows to making sure that the quality of work I give back to the industry is top-notch.

     

    I know not to settle for less than the best, and I don’t believe creators or fans should have to either.
