I worked for a few years as an exhibition organiser and then later was one of the first people to be trained in computer graphics at Kontact Desing Studio. Between 1992 and 2000, I worked for DDB Budapest as a graphic designer and at the same time gained admission to the Art and Design University which I completed with excellent results.

From 2000 until 2003, I headed the R-Port media agency and since 2004, I am now the Outsourced Art Director at Sky Marketing Communication Agency, a job which I have enthusiastically enjoyed from the time I started!
