Born in Budapest, Hungary. Moved to Portugal at 8 and lived in over 20 homes before turning 20. Now I’m settled in Faro for 8 years, but ready for the next move.
About
Science, Economics, Visual Arts, Design, Marketing...
I was "destined" for science, as my father was a phisics and mathematics professor, but I hated doing what people told me, so I decided I'll take a chance on economics. The year I applied, was the only year that my school didn't open economics, so I randomly selected Visual Arts as a protest.
After graduating Arts, I had to get back to something more real and not just pretty, so I chose Design as a way of creating with purpose.
University of Algarve gave me the academic foundations of Design. Most of what I know I ended up learning myself, but I ended up finishing my bachelor's degree nonetheless.
I interned at a hospitality group, where I worked behind the bar as long as I could keep two or three days in the office as a designer. Naturally when it opened, I got the designer position.
The company went through a tough time, so I ended up holding down the whole communication department's work alone until we could hire new members. That's how I got promoted to CMO and started overseeing operations, with my first goal of building an architecture that could have made my job more managable in a crisis.
After polishing the whole brand architecture for all the venues and hubs, I felt like I had done what I came to do, I trained my once intern, to be able to continue after I left.
My personal quote that lead to great adventures
"The worst outcome would be a great story to tell."
It started as a high school joke for doing dumb shit, whenever hesitation crept in, I would drop the line.
And of course, this is how we’ve gotten plenty of scars, pain, fear, but above all, plenty of great stories to tell.
My passion project
Photography
Still in Hungary, my uncle let me take pictures with his camera, and something felt right. Maybe it was because I was seen as a reckless kid and he entrusted a very expensive camera to my hands, maybe it was becuase in my not so glamorous childhood I had an excuse to look out for something nice, or maybe I just found it cool, who knows, who cares… What matters to me is that I have my own cameras, my own reasons to look at the brighter parts of life.
My current Side Quest
I moved into my current role at Fundação António Aleixo, leading their Incorpora program while helping their communications and visual presence. It’s been a different challenge: where design thinking meets human systems, and numbers aren’t the real metric. This shift is still hard, and I’m still adapting to changing lifes instead of working based on metrics.

Altruist
I’ve once learned Processing 3.0 coding language because a friend needed help, overnight.
The next day after sleeping until noon, I raw coded him a simple but fully functioning game so he wouldn’t fail his class.
