How we add value
Our story
Refine started out as Lemonade Hub and Ilse Evertse Professional Writing, Editing & Translation Services. Over the past 20+ and 30+ years respectively, the businesses have built a formidable reputation. Lemonade Hub specialised in effective and engaging communication services, while IPW focused on editing and translating academic texts from leading universities and business schools globally.
In 2023, as Ilse decided to shift from “go-go” to “go slow,” the business activities were repackaged as Refine, maintaining the high standards clients have come to know. A year later, Lemonade Hub joined forces with the Refine. The expanded service offering now includes content creation, visual communication and information architecture, among others.
We offer comprehensive communication solutions that bring context and content together, from planning to implementation. And we have a simple mission: to be your final stop for flawless, impactful text. Read about the origin of our name and tagline in our.

At Refine, while we recognise the usefulness of these technologies for basic checks, our focus remains on delivering the expert human touch that these tools cannot replace.
