Hello!
My name is Tetiana, and I work with stories, words, and meanings for a living. I am a fairy-tale therapist, writer, journalist, translator — and, frankly, if something can be done with letters, I have probably tried it.
Professional background
Over the years, I have worked with text in many forms and formats:
Written book and film reviews
Authored articles for "Gazeta po-ukrainsky" and "Krayina" magazine
Worked as a copywriter for various companies (website and social media content, newsletters, advertising, scripts for corporate events, and more)
Proofreader at Horod Publishing House (Odesa)
Creative Editor at Stanislav, an entertainment metaverse project
Author of two books on fairy-tale therapy
Editor of the Ukrainian translation of Viktoriia Oleshko’s books on knowledge management
Translator of I. Odehova’s children’s book “Toothy Poems” into Ukrainian
Ongoing collaboration with psychologist R. Tkach as translator and editor of her books
Occasional but enthusiastic naming and slogan creation
Translator of poetry and song lyrics from English into Ukrainian and Russian
Writer of chatbot texts for various purposes
Creator and curator of my own social media project “Healing Through Fairy Tales”, including full content production
Author and host of the creative writing course for young storytellers “Searching for the Firebird”
Editor at the German company DANI (authorial video fairy tales in multiple languages)
Scriptwriter for children’s interactive animated projects at Mioris LTD
Content creator at Shkola Publishing House

How I work
I work comfortably with both people and text. I learn quickly when faced with something new and, just as importantly, I do not take on work unless I am confident I can deliver it well.
In an employer or client, I value clarity, integrity, a sense of humour, and the ability to formulate tasks precisely. I promise to respond in kind.
If you are looking for someone who treats words as both a craft and a responsibility — we are likely to get along very well.
