About me

In the last 11 years, I have obtained extensive experience in the Design Industry.

I am currently working for two companies.

I am a Senior Graphic Designer and Head of Photography at Killer Ink Limited. As Head of Photography, I am responsible for organizing and managing all the Photoshoots from styling to the final retouched image. I am also responsible for managing a team of 2 photo editors and providing constructive feedback on projects to improve quality.
As a Senior Graphic Designer, I am supervising and managing a team of two in email marketing. Developing display, marketing and packaging materials to support product branding strategies. I oversaw hiring, training and direction of creative personnel to achieve optimal results.
Killer Ink Limited became the leading supplier of tattoo equipment in Europe in a few years. As I am working for them from the very beginning, I obtained very useful knowledge in a fast-growing company. As the company was growing, I was part of every phase of the business development.

I am the co-founder and Art Director of a sustainable homeware business Linen and Stripes, which I have created in 2015 together with my wife. We have created a brand with natural and stylish homeware products with sustainability in mind. Building a company from scratch added a lot of knowledge to my skills, like solving hard problems, being flexible and being able to prioritize important tasks. I am responsible for all the branding, marketing and design-related tasks. Our company was featured in Country Homes and Interiors, Enki Magazine, Daily Mail and Financial times in 2021.

Apart from my Inhouse Designer experience I also have expert knowledge in working together with clients on successful creative projects. As a Freelance Designer, I was fortunate to work together with clients like Adidas, Heineken and other big brands.

I have a master's degree in teaching and I truly enjoy teaching and training a high-performing creative team towards achieving a vision.

I am a huge believer in lifelong learning and currently I am on a learning curve of NFTs and Cryptocurrencies and how to apply it for businesses. To expand my creative tools, I am learning Cinema 4D at the moment, to keep up with the current 3D Design trends.

I am a native Hungarian speaker with proficient knowledge of English.
