Hi!

My name is Ambrose and I’m a copy editor, graphic designer and visual artist based in Toronto, Canada. I am a 1.5-generation Hongkonger-Canadian and I read and write Hong Kong Chinese and also speak Cantonese natively.

I studied computer science and inclusive design so I’m fairly familiar with markup languages, including HTML and LaTeX. (If your paper is LaTeX I won’t ask you for a Word file. I’ve worked on LaTeX papers myself and know first-hand how converting LaTeX to Word then back can sometimes destroy your file!)

I also have experience in graphic design, a few craft-based practices (mainly studio ceramics, plus some print­making and book­binding) and IT (programming and system admin­istration).

If your text involves Christian terms in Chinese, I have translated Christian content from Chinese to English and vice versa, and have a reasonable knowledge of both Catholic and Protestant terminologies.

Accessibility statement

This site has been tested for keyboard navigation and with the TalkBack screen reader on Android, although this site is not currently required to comply with WCAG AA in Ontario.

Colour contrast on this site is currently not compliant with WCAG Level AA; this will eventually be mitigated but please read my thoughts on problems with the colour contrast rules.
