She graduated from the Hungarian University of Applied Arts in 2002, between 2002 and 2015 she worked as a designer at the Herend Porcelain Manufactory, both in applied and progressive design. For more than 10 years she worked on the preservation of the traditional Herend design heritage, the modern use of its traditional forms and patterns, the introduction of new functions and collections. Many of her works have been launched onto the market and she has also created jewellery, lamps and other interior design collections. After her career in Herend she set up the porcelain workshop Ecce Home, where she creates functional porcelain objects. Her work is mainly based on a technique she developed himself, a reinterpretation of negative plaster carving.
