I'm back!☀️
Letter ♡ No.12.
Dearest friends,
It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
Let me start with something exciting: it’s summer!☀️☀️☀️☀️
Everything feels easier, more playful, and more cheerful under the sun.
I thought it would be nice to show up at least once each season, so let me give you a little wrap-up of what’s been going onin my life over the months.
First of all, I’ve been working on some bigger projects that I haven’t shared here yet—so I thought this newsletter would be the perfect place to show them to you. Since November, I’ve been working full-time as a graphic designer, which means I have much less time to share my work these days. Still, it’s really important for me to draw daily, and I’ve felt a bit guilty for not sharing any content here. But now, I hope I can make up for my absence.
Before I dive into the projects, I wanted to share something that has changed in my creative process. Over the past few years, I developed a kind of pressure around drawing. It started to feel like an obligation—like a job to draw and constantly invest in myself. Even simple doodling became something I overthought. I wouldn’t say I stopped enjoying it entirely, but I did feel less connected to it. Drawing has always been my passion—a way to get closer to myself—so I really wanted to bring that feeling back.
Recently, after finishing my daily work, I started drawing just for fun again. It was still hard to let go of expectations at first. But everything changed when I began drawing in my diary. That little private space where I can truly be myself also became a safe place for my art. It’s been such a joy to use drawing again as a way to understand myself and express my emotions.
Who would’ve thought that simply switching from a sketchbook to a diary could have such a big impact on doodling?
That was the sentimental part of the newsletter—so now, let’s dive into some projects I’d like to share:
KALANDRA FAL!
Last year, for the first time in my life, I got to work on a television project! Kalandra Fal! is a fun and silly entertainment show, so I knew right away this would be an exciting and playful assignment.
I’m super happy I didn’t do this alone—we formed such a cool and proactive team with the amazing Vivien Sárkány, a super talented illustrator (please check out her incredible works HERE!).
We created a total of 260 illustrations—130 per illustrator—based on various themes for the game walls used in the show, which aired on RTL. We only had about 1–2 months to complete the whole project, so I’m really proud of what we accomplished together.
iNurse
As many of you know, I was trained in animation, so I was thrilled when I was contacted to work on a short animation project. What made it even more exciting was that it was a new genre for me: an explainer video promoting new technology.
At the time, I was experimenting a lot with Adobe Illustrator and geometric shapes, so this felt like the perfect opportunity to take that style to the next level.
I was responsible for creating the graphic assets and animations that appear in the short film. Since we had a dedicated director and motion designer on the team, I could really focus on my part—which felt amazing.
Útközben Elmeséled
After Kalandra Fal!, I had the opportunity to work on another TV-related project—this time, I created a teaser for Útközben elmeséled, which aired on Viasat3.
This show is more intimate and lighthearted, blending conversation, travel, and personal storytelling. It typically features well-known Hungarian personalities who take a journey while sharing stories.
For this project, I was responsible for the entire animation and logo design.
Hopp in
I also want to share my Hopp in project, which was a unique and exciting experience. I took part in a Product Design Course organized by MOME ID.
Although I’ve worked on several web and app-related projects before, I always wanted to learn more about UX/UI design.
In this course, we focused mainly on the research phase and explored different collaborative tools. I found it incredibly useful—not just for UX/UI but also as a way to better understand how people with different perspectives can work together effectively.
In a team of three, we developed a personal project for hitchhikers—an app designed to help them travel more safely and build a supportive community where they can share tips and experiences
Good Mood Prints
And last but not least—I'm happy to announce that some of my illustrations are now available at Good Mood Print! You can order them in customizable sizes and choose your preferred frame style.
I really love the print quality they offer, so I’ll definitely continue uploading more artworks there.
If you have any suggestions for which of my illustrations you’d like to see as prints, let me know! And feel free to share the shop with anyone who might be interested—I’ve just started out, so every bit of visibility helps. 😊
That’s all for now!
I hope you have a wonderful summer—enjoy the sunshine-filled days!
If you have any questions or just want to chat, I’d love to hear from you.
Happy Summer! ☀️
Sending Love
