About me

Hey I’m a UX/UI designer, from Hungary currently living in New Zealand. I'm free for new challenges.

I design responsive websites, native mobile apps used by millions of people. I create paper scratches, wireframes and use usability test results on a daily basis. I always had a passion for fixing processes and making things better. I always search for opportunities where I can make people’s life easier. I also like designing logos and print stuff too because... Okay, it’s an old love… The touch of the paper and the smell of the ink.
