    With over 30 years of experience as a media and advertising professional, I bridge the gap between traditional craft and modern digital ecosystems. My career spans senior roles in B2B marketing, promotional communications, and high-impact consumer advertising, driven by a deep expertise in copywriting and strategic direct response.

    As the founder of Inkybrain, I manage a diverse portfolio of creative streams—from editorial design and independent publishing to e-commerce and web media development. My workflow is built on a "Pen, Paper, Pixel" philosophy: taking an idea from a raw sketch to a physical publication and finally into a responsive digital environment.

    Core Expertise:

    • Editorial & Publication Design: Lead designer and creative director for Compulsive Magazine and Think: Budapest, overseeing everything from custom logotype creation to complex 60-page layouts.

    • Brand Stewardship: Developing comprehensive marketing programs for a global client base, ranging from boutique startups to "Big Agency" accounts.

    • Digital Architecture: Specialist in Joomla and web media development, creating seamless user experiences that integrate editorial content with e-commerce.

    • Copywriting & Content Strategy: Crafting compelling narratives for direct response, promotional media, and long-form editorial.

    Whether I am architecting e-commerce SEO for international marketplaces or launching a new digital travel publication, my goal remains the same: I bring ideas to life.
