Client Testimonials

Maya's work on Skincare Auntie is simple, clear, and pleasing to the eye. Intended for people of all ages and levels of skincare knowledge, but primarily for those in the author's age group and who have an existing interest in skincare, the minimalistic layout makes it easy for visitors of all kinds to browse the website and find the information they are seeking. The top navigation is straightforward and presents the different sections of information in a logical order that make sense even if read out of sequence, and the archive links on the side make it easy for visitors to view older posts. The website's color scheme and layout are clean and modern without being too austere, and the fun header logo signals both the author's youth and intended audience while appealing to a broader crowd. The font is easily legible, and all links and post displays are fully functional. The website's outgoing links are easily accessible as well. Overall, Skincare Auntie is a pleasure to use and utilizes the elements of good web design that I appreciate in many of my favorite websites.
Cristy Yeung, skincare expert and blogger
Maya is always timely whenever I need assistance with a translation (usually a Japanese recipe or reading an email from a friend overseas); she is thorough and precise and will always walk me through parts I don’t understand. I highly recommend Maya to help you with any kind of correspondence as she is fluent in both business and casual Japanese!
Wendy Xu, Illustrator and comics artist
Maya frequently translates American financial and legal jargon into Japanese so I easily understand. She also helps me communicate with our lawyers and our bank persons. Her work has been an absolute life-saver!
