Bio

Hi!
My name is Kordula Coleman and I am a German native who came to live here in Minneapolis in 2000. I have been married to an American for 22 years.
We have two little daughters; both attended the Twin Cities German Immersion School.

I was born in Trier, Germany in 1968 and went to school there until 1987. After graduating from high school, I worked as a ceramic apprentice for two and a half years until obtaining my journeyman's certificate.
I then studied graphic design in Germany for 5 years, got my diploma in 1995 and worked first as a layouter and then as an art director in various German agencies for 5 years.
After coming to the US in 2000 I worked as a freelance art director in an advertising agency in St Paul, MN until 2002.

I have done some translation work some years ago (see work samples), but then invested as much time as I could in figurative ceramic sculpture. The need has arisen to support my family more regularly and substantially, so I picking up where I left off as a professional translator. I consider myself a beginner, but since I have a passion for literature and reading in general and converse a lot with both English and German native speakers, I feel confident that I can deliver quality work.
