Ever since I was a little girl, I was fascinated by the way clothes were made, it was a question I kept asking myself; I wanted to learn how to turn materials into clothes, so when I turned 24 I decided to seek out the answer and learn this form of art.

I barely just started out, so I don't have a design studio yet.

Mostly I like designing evening gowns that stand out and are as original as they can be.

Ready Folded-Wearable Art is my first collection, which was also my final project for the design school I studied at.

7 My favorite material is lace and I'm fascinated by how it is made.My favorite technology is of course folding fabrics, which inspired my Ready Folded collection.

I feel creative mostly when I am at ease and surrounded by postive energy.

I focus on the harmony between the different aspects of the design.

In my opinion creativity and effort make a design successful. The amount of energy you put in your work.

I judge design based on their harmony. I look at the whole design at first and then look at it's details.

I draw inspiration from different cultures around the world, so I constantly try to broad my perspective by researching traditional elements.

I live in Romania, but by heritage I'm Hungarian and of course I attended design school in Hungary. I'm lucky enough to live close to the border, so I can experience both countries. I intend to explore my cultural heritage in my future designs. I would rather not discuss pros and cons, cause sadly there would be too much cons.

I would tell them to follow their dreams and don't let anybody tell them they can't succeed. Don't doubt yourself.

Strong drawing skills,visualization abilities and sewing skills, and also a good eye for materials.

That depends on how complicated the design is. A complicated design could take me months, but a simple evening dress a day or a week.

I plan to open my own studio and start work on my second collection.

I develop my designs by myself. Hopefully I will have a team around me soon to help my with the process.

I have studied Design Academy in Debrecen, Hungary, which I finished last year.

I think they should be persistant and believe in their dream, creativity and talent.

I evaluate design by the harmony of the different elements create between each other.

Because design is art, and I think everybody should invest in art.

Exploring different cultural elements of every country in my designs.

My Ready Folded collection, and I think the use of fabric folding makes it great.

I did a lot of research for my project and didn't give up until I could make my imagination reality.
