I am Eszter Takács, visual artist, graphic designer and interior designer. Originally from Budapest, I have lived in Paris, London, Amsterdam, and Barcelona.
I have always had a deep fascination for arts, interiors, architecture, visual communication, and running my own studio one day has been a long-held dream. My passion for drawing, creating, designing, and the appreciation of beauty and aesthetics appeared at a very early age. As a child I would spend hours drawing, painting, building castles and houses out of wooden blocks every single day.
However, it took me a while to realise that arts and design were my true calling, because my focus shifted from my creative side to academic achievements and earning good grades right when I started primary school. As I have also adored mathematics and languages from the very beginning, going to business school seemed to be a logical step at the age of 18.
I spent five years studying economics, gaining a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Management (with major in Business Communication), and a Master’s degree in Marketing. After graduation, I started working as an account manager at an agency, but it didn’t take long — just a year — for me to realise that I craved a more creative path, so I decided to change career, and study design…
As a freelance graphic designer, I’m passionate about transforming smart ideas and concepts into stunning visuals that marry beauty with purpose. While I enjoy all aspects of graphic design, I’m especially drawn to editorial design, branding, and identity creation.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of collaborating with amazing clients across various industries, I gained extensive experience in both the digital and the print worlds, and I can easily work with and further develop visual languages and brand identities.
Thanks to my working experience in fast paced agencies or simply projects with very tight deadlines, I am able to deliver fast whilst keeping standards high. There was a time when I thought that the five years spent at the business university was a waste of time, but later I realised that I couldn’t be more wrong: these studies, and my experience in the corporate world have enriched me with a strong business mindset and the ability to truly understand my clients’ needs and goals. My unique offering is that I can combine visual intuition & those ‘design eyes’ with strong conceptual and strategic thinking. I bring a rare blend of creative vision and business acumen, offering solutions that are not just visually appealing but also conceptually strong and strategically aligned.
As an independent interior designer I specialise in residential projects, because I am deeply passionate about the psychological aspect of designing people’s homes, having to create spaces that are a visual translation of who they are, reflecting their personality, and perfectly fitting their lifestyles. I also love applying my graphic design knowledge about design principles, design thinking, user experience design in these projects, as well as my sensitivity that I use to carefully read people in order to meet their true needs.
In addition to home design, I also love real estate development projects, where the focus is on the return on investment, because it is another exciting field where creativity, style and aesthetics have to be combined with project management, planning and budgeting skills, a field where ‘white canvases’ meet google sheets!
Alongside my work in design, I am also a visual artist. Once I found my authentic artistic ‘language’ and style, I felt truly inspired to share my artworks with the world and establish my art practice.
I craft digital abstract collages infused with spiritual messages, utilizing components sourced primarily from the natural world. Employing mindful digital arrangement, I aim to evoke a tranquil simplistic aesthetic. My creative wellspring arises from moments of stillness and self-reflection, as visions unfold during silent meditation or nature walks. Each piece is intentionally designed and encoded with a unique spiritual message. As a result, the composition embodies a specific blessing, reminder, wisdom or energy, urging viewers to live more consciously, intuitively, with their heart open and embrace principles of love, respect, appreciation, and reverence for Mother Earth, people and all other earthlings. I aspire to awaken people to transcendence, to life’s magic and foster a direct connection with the Divine. Beyond mere aesthetics, I delve into new perspectives that connect mind, body, soul, and Source.
