I have been passionate about graphic design and photo manipulation since my early teenage years. In elementary and high school, I studied under Waldorf education, where I took art classes and participated in theater plays. One of my school projects was a fictitious newspaper that I designed from scratch using Adobe InDesign, I also wrote fictional articles for the project. After high school, I studied communication and media at ELTE, where I also attended graphic and web design courses.
In 2014, I started working as a freelance designer. Between 2014-16, I created several application booklets for Inforg M&M Productions, including for films such as On Body and Soul and Brazilok. In 2016, I worked as a graphic designer for the third season of the HBO series Terápia. For Terápia, I designed fictitious book covers, websites, t-shirts, and a realistic-looking Blikk newspaper with fabricated stories about the main actress, Dorottya Udvaros. In 2016-17, I worked on the movie poster for On Body and Soul by Ildikó Enyedi, which won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale Film Festival and was also nominated for an Oscar. The poster was used both in Hungary and internationally. I also designed social media posts, banner campaigns, billboards, brochures, and ads for Variety and The Hollywood Reporter magazines. Following this success, I had the opportunity to design the application booklet for Ildikó’s next film, The Story of My Wife.
In 2017, I joined Be Social, the leading social media agency in Hungary, where I worked with major clients such as Tesco, Renault, Nestea, Telenor, Media Markt, and local companies as well. I designed social media posts, banner campaigns, websites, and offline ads while also learning motion design and basic 2D animation skills. In 2018-19, I redesigned the logo and website of Be Social, which they have proudly used ever since. In 2019, I worked as a graphic designer in the art department of The Story of My Wife, directed by Ildikó Enyedi, with production designer Imola Láng. The film, a co-production of four countries, had a total budget of 10 million euros and featured international actors such as Léa Seydoux, Gijs Naber, and Louis Garrel. It was set in the 1920s in Europe, and we designed a wide variety of graphics, including shop displays, restaurant menus, cigarette packets, posters, street signs, ship branding, book covers, fictitious newspapers, food packagings, perfume designs, vinyl covers, and more. In 2020-21, I created the movie poster for The Story of My Wife, which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in July 2021 and was nominated for the Palme d’Or.
In August 2021, I left Be Social to work on The Invitation, a Sony Pictures Screen Gems production directed by Jessica M. Thomson and starring Nathalie Emmanuel. One of my main projects was designing four family crests that were adapted into real paintings, embroideries, statues, modern logos, and wine labels throughout the film. I also designed graphics for props and many external and internal scenes. In 2022, I contributed to two international film projects as a graphic designer: All the Light We Cannot See (Netflix) and LEE (directed by Ellen Kuras), starring Kate Winslet, under production designer Gemma Jackson and lead graphic designer Lisa Williams. I also collaborated with Imola Láng on advertisements and theater sets (Konica Minolta, OTP, SZEX. ÚJRA. EL.).
From spring 2023 to early 2024, I worked on The Day of the Jackal, a 10-episode series by Peacock, starring Eddie Redmayne. In the art department, I worked with production designers Richard Bullock and Rob Harrys, as well as lead graphic designer Mary Wainwright. The series is set in modern-day England, France, Germany, Estonia, Croatia, and several other European countries. My major contributions included creating a German election campaign with fictional political parties, designing fake passports and IDs for various countries, and creating vehicle graphics.
From spring to fall 2024, I worked on the Netflix series Death by Lightning, with production designer Gemma Jackson and lead graphic designer Sarah Pasquali. Set in 19th-century United States, the series is based on the true story of U.S. President James Garfield and his assassin, Charles Guiteau. I worked on various projects in the graphics team, including creating souvenirs for election rallies, designing election banners, and designing street signages, which were later sign-painted.
