Hello,
I’m Nora, a Budapest-based freelance Concept Art Director with over 25 years of experience in the industry. Throughout my career, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with leading brands across a diverse range of sectors.
I began my journey as an account executive, where I honed my skills in project management and translating client briefs into creative concepts. This role also helped me develop strong presentation and persuasive skills. However, I soon realized that creativity was essential to my fulfillment. While working at Publicis, I graduated from KREA – College of Art, and transitioned into Art Direction. Since then, my passion for advertising has only deepened.
I thrive on solving problems and aim to create solutions that are clever, simple, effective, and beautifully crafted.

Awards
Winning a prize is always a memorable moment for those in advertising and creative fields, bringing with it a satisfying sense of “you did it right.” However, I see this as a delightful side effect. The true driving force lies in the pursuit of creative solutions—ideas that convey truths people can resonate with. When this happens, it becomes the most powerful tool in the language of advertising. I truly believe that.
