Hi, my name is Zsuzsi and I'm a graphic designer.
Now you are probably wondering, what a weird way to write Susie... But there is nothing to worry about. I'm not weird, just Hungarian. Probably my parents didn't think that I might end up some day in one of the few countries they don't have the letter "zs" in their alphabet. How silly... :)
But despite my namely handicap I still love to travel, and I don't mind changing my address a couple of times along the way. Currently I live in the beautiful country of Austria with my boyfriend. Three years ago I was living and working on a cruise ship and had the chance to visit many amazing places sailing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
My biggest inspiration was always meeting new cultures, seeing different places. To walk around in atmospheres that are so much different of what I am used to. The colors, sounds and smells, the different ways of living. They all add up and broaden your inner palette and the way you think about aesthetics. I hope that maybe later on I will be able to transmit these experiences into my designs.
But for now my goal is to learn as much as possible about my profession through work and aim to produce nice and useful designs.
As for my professional past and present:
Since I was a kid I was always attracted to art. In my younger years I was into several things: drawing, dancing (ballet), ceramics, theater...
Then it was time to choose a direction. I got admitted to the Decoration School in Budapest. It happened there that I met graphic design. I loved the possibilites of application of this area of art.
So I decided to follow this track, and continued my studies specified on graphic design. Also I took two extra years in an art school in Budapest (Jaschik Almos Art School) in graphic design.
Next to my studies I was constantly working as a freelancer, for many companies. My main project at the time was to create all DTP designs for the Budapest Jazz Club.
After I finished my studies I worked for a year and a half for Carnival Cruise Lines, on some of their cruise ships as a Graphic designer and printing technician.
With my technical experience from the ship, once in Austria, I got admitted for a mainly operativ graphic designer job inspite of the fact that I merely started to learn german at that time.
At this point I am still constantly working on improving my german while trying to make my steps forward in my professional life and searching for new challenges.
