resolving perplexions
and forever
experimenting with styles
I’m a multidisciplinary visual creative and theorist with over 15 years of professional experience in the universals of graphic design practice, specializing in visual identities, digital design productions and experiences, digital art, and visual consultancy services.
With additional experience as a cultural worker and social activist, I am currently based in Budapest, Hungary, pursuing Ph.D. studies in the “Analytic Philosophy” program at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), with a focus on the doctoral research topic “Signification in Visually Mediated/Pictorial Communication.” Holding an Honours Degree in MA Semiotics (also at ELTE), and BA in Printmaking and Graphic Design, my academic background enriches my interdisciplinary approach to research and practice.
My attitude to work involves passionate and careful professional engagement. I love working with and helping like-minded people whose projects and activities are based on similar ethical principles that I share. Therefore, I am not interested in projects that pursue riches at all costs, not in touch with general human values, the well-being of our environment, and societal well-being with respect to all the human identitarian delicacies it holds.
Being well aware of the current exploitative nature of economic exchanges and the limitations in human interactions it implies, I am nevertheless steadfast in my commitment to positive change and strive to apply this ethos in my work to assist individuals, businesses, and communities.
These ideals are reflected in my work methodology and aesthetics as well. If you are seeking something beyond the overly exhausted and centralized advertising approach to information communication, this could be a good hint for the possibility to create something meaningful together.
If you think we are aligned in our values, I would be delighted to hear from you and collaborate on joint projects or perhaps just get to know each other and exchange ideas.
