Halász Judit

Designer

I was born and grew up in the capital of Hungary. During my university years I had an opportunity to study in Finland. I was captivated by the diversity of cultures and landscapes, so I continued to travel to Sweden and France.
I have experienced life in a busy metropolis, or in a small, quiet village.
All of these things are inspiring me: the colourful nightlife with the shine of neon lights, the silence at a Finnish lake, or the thousands shades of white snow.
