About
Hi, I’m Daniel.
A designer and illustrator from Hungary. Ten years of agency work, up to art director, and one habit that never changed: everything starts with a drawing.
Today I work across brand, illustration and animation, freelance or as part of a team. I like projects where an idea has to survive the whole journey, from a pencil sketch to a billboard, a printed piece or a character that moves on screen.

Outside
the brief
When I’m not on client work, I’m still drawing: characters, sketchbook pages and, lately, frame-by-frame animation tests.
Right now I’m deepening my After Effects skills and working towards hand-drawn animation, the kind where every frame is a drawing.
