Her work is based on an intuitional approach to design. Her design practice includes clothing, accessories and textile design, accompanied by academic research which she is deeply passionate about.

zofi is a project she started at the age of 18 when she moved to Paris from Hungary, where she grew up. The brand has been growing from being a tiny t-shirt sale to a brand putting out carefully developed collection twice a year. The production structure includes mainly one-of-a-kind pieces, reaching people through sales and rent or loan services. Having been published online and in print, featured in showrooms internationally and collaborating with exemplary creatives, the goal of zofi is to continue to create and nurture a community of people who all wish to wear something they can trust in their everyday lives, while advocating for beauty in uniqueness and individuality.
