The Team at FLY.HIGH
FLY.HIGH was created by friends and family who have been acting in the business for many years. From the start, we have been supporting, teaching, learning, working, and helping each other to succeed. Although we all share a passion for language, each of us has developed a particular set of skills and areas of expertise that will undoubtedly help FLY.HIGH to stand out.
Our Story
After years of working in the industry, we realized that the best work we were producing was the result of our collaboration. We knew and understood how to complement and support each other. And with that, the idea of FLY.HIGH came to fruition, a place where we can fully realize our capabilities, translating them into stories of success for our clients. The powerful mythical creature Phoenix represents our rebirth, the fire burning inside of us to achieve more and fly higher than ever before.
Faces of FLY.HIGH
The MasterMind
With a love for languages buried inside of him from an early age,
Dan Costa spent the majority of his life traveling, living in a handful of English-speaking countries around the globe, trying to find his own place on this planet. It was only when he found himself using his language skills as a career that he finally experienced the perfect balance between work and pleasure. With over 8 years of experience in Localization and Transcreation, having collaborated with over 20 companies by helping them turn their products and services into stories of success, he decided that it was time to take the reins and make his dream of starting his own Communications and Localization Agency.
Outside the professional area, he has a passion for food. Cooking, growing, experimenting, and creating. A gamer since the Atari Era, every generation has a special place in his heart, almost telling his story, as it tells its own.
The Human Encyclopedia
Eloquence, the perfect word to describe Dani Meirelles. She possesses an incredible ability to juggle words around and place them perfectly as if they were her own art piece. Because of that, literary translation was always her field of choice, the ability to tell a captivating story so effortlessly is not for many. With an immense knowledge of Brazilian culture and expertise in marketing and business strategy, she knows better than anyone how to connect and communicate with any audience.
On the personal side, she loves to play retro games with her daughter, introducing the gems of our past to her future. Traveling defines her personality, with the dream to know and experience as many cultures as life will allow, and many of them she likes to do on the back of a Harley, as her husband and she manages their own Motorcycle Club.
The "How is He Not Famous Yet?"
Everton Fernandes found his love for language at a young age while trying to translate and understand stories of JRPGs on the Super Nintendo. From there, he had the opportunity to live abroad, moving to Ontario to get his Bachelor's Degree in Linguistics and started to work with subtitling translations while there. After years abroad, he decided to move back to Brazil and gained more experience in the industry, working with Localization and Subtitling.
Personally, he is a highly social person, always being the life of the party. Knows everything that is happening (and even some that haven't happened yet) in Pop/Geek Culture, a perfect source of cultural information on these areas. Call of Duty sharpshooter, mainly enjoys multiplayer games to reset his brain and distance himself from reality when needed.
