When I met Ralf Raaf in 2007 while working at Pioneer Electronics, he was still working as a copywriter at Wunderman in Cologne and was assigned to us as a translator due to his extensive knowledge of consumer electronics and his good command of English. At the time, he translated the annual car audio catalogue from English into German, as well as the monthly additions to our website, which he also entered into our proprietary CMS system.
A while after he left, we learnt that he was self-employed, and we were delighted to offer him further collaboration on the basis of his positive experience. What's more, it turned out that Ralf also had a lot of experience in design, including artwork, which suited us very well.
I left the company in 2014, whereas Ralf is still working for the car audio division today. As I really liked the uncomplicated collaboration and his extremely flexible way of working, I brought him on board at Wüsthof a few years later. We had just had a new corporate design developed there, which had to be implemented in various media. Ralf took on typesetting work for the annual "Cutlery Guide" in German and English as well as for various print projects. He also created Word templates in the new CD and an invoicing PDF order form for the sales force.
I appreciate Ralf's broad range of skills and experience, which always allows him to find a suitable and practical solution. And of course that he is very pleasant to work with. That's why I can only recommend potential customers to give him a try. You will certainly not be disappointed.
