During several years he collaborated with Issey Miyake in Japan. His illustrations and graphic design naturally progressed to fashion photography at Harper's Bazaar, New York. In 2000, he established his design company ZOLTAN+ which uses a wide range of powerful visual media to create company identities, coherent brand imaging with definitive, contemporary style.

His personal expertise is often sought out to provide strong conceptual direction to new businesses, publications and contemporary art exhibitions.

He moved in 2005 to San Francisco to broaden his expertise in New Media design, and to collaborate with SFMOMA as an independent curator on their 25th Anniversary exhibition. In 2010, he was invited in Budapest by the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Photography Faculty, followed by the International Business School, Arts Management to develop consultations to a high academic standard.

In 2014, Ubikwist magazine in New York called for his services and he became the Art Director and Feature Editor, to discover young talents and set the theme of the publication. Currently, Zoltan is living in London to develop his radio program, a series of personality interviews with British and international artists. He is a catalyst, whose aim is to bring together people from different cultural and professional backgrounds.
