About Me · UX/UI Design · Web Development

I am a designer who likes to think like a developer.

And a developer who never forgets why the design was created.

I work in Budapest's Óbuda district as a WordPress developer, UX/UI designer, and frontend developer. I see a project through from its initial challenge to a working digital experience, and I usually collaborate with clients online.

WordPress Developer and UX/UI Designer in Budapest

I have worked on digital experiences for more than a decade. One of my strengths is bridging design and technical implementation. My work combines research, design, development, and collaborative problem-solving in different proportions.

Independent Projects and Teaching

As a freelancer, I design UX/UI and build WordPress sites, online stores, and more complex digital systems. I also teach the web production module in Hollóka Grafikai Műhely's UX/UI course.

I Teach What I Use.

A Hollóka Grafikai Műhely's UX/UI course I teach the web production module.

My goal is not to have students memorize code or WordPress. I want them to understand how a design becomes a working, responsive, editable website.

What I Believe In

Three Simple Principles for Working Together.

01

Design Needs a Purpose.

A visual decision is worthwhile when it makes something easier to understand or use.

02

Technology Should Serve a Purpose.

The best system does its job in the background without getting in the way of visitors or editors.

03

Good Projects Are Built Together.

My work is not a black box. I explain decisions, flag problems, and discuss them in clear terms.
