I'm a multidisciplinary artist with a passion for blending different forms of media to create compelling visual narratives. My journey began at the Rhode Island School of Design, where I honed my skills in film, animation, and video art. Growing up in Budapest, in high school I developed a strong foundation in apparel design and leatherwork, skills that I continue to try to integrate into my projects. Creativity drives me, whether it's through the lens of a camera, at the sewing machine, or in traditional art and illustration. I'm always excited to collaborate and bring energy to new projects, utilizing my diverse skill set to craft unique artistic expressions.
