Do you remember stringing two tin cans together to make a play telephone? Remember the simple desire to connect, play, hear and be heard?

String & Can is the modern, multilingual string in your tin can phone. Better quality sound for sure, but just as fun.

We are a group of passionate, skilled, remote-ready interpreting professionals and online event consultants. Here’s what you need to know about us:

  1. We don't do everything. We aren't for everyone. We do the things we do, and try to do them with excellence and above all, kindness.

  2. Once we're in, we're in. We are on your team.

  3. We don't charge the highest rates. We don't charge the lowest. We pay ourselves and the professionals we work with to be able to sit down with your meeting materials and figure out what you're all about, while being able to provide for our families.

  4. We are driven by language access and equity. English is currently the global language of power. When we design our services, we aim to go beyond keeping non-English speakers in the loop. We work to seat speakers of any language squarely at the table, empowering all to speak their hearts, their power, using their most potent tool—their native tongue. We train, study and prepare over and over again to bring ideas and stories that language barriers might otherwise prevent the world from hearing.

Our services are listening centered—we listen to your communication goals, we listen to your message and through our dedication, we assist decision-makers in listening longer, wider and better.
