About me

I began my studies as a sculptor in Szeged at the Tömörkény István Art Secondary School. I then studied at the Juhász Gyula Teacher Training College, received a scholarship at the Novus Private Art School, and ultimately earned my degree at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Pécs. I lived for two years in the United States, in the state of Maine. I won AdCamp organized by Leo Burnett Budapest. I became an Art Director at the DDB Budapest advertising agency, working as a dedicated Art Director on the Vodafone brand. In 2022 I completed training as a beautician, attended a permanent make-up workshop, and graduated as a make-up artist at The Vision Makeup School under Karolina Árpa. I draw essences from many artistic and applied-art fields, and slowly—by blending and “cooking” them together—I shape the perspective that defines my work. My passion is the spiritual and physical beauty of people.

When and how did you come to Random?

The 212th Random Shooting Day was my first shoot, but the year before that I was the behind-the-scenes photographer for the exhibition. In the Secret Room I took a photo of Koczka, and that’s when he asked whether I’d like to create the behind-the-scenes photos for the Random Shooting Day exhibition :)
