portrait of Kata Kovács

I'm Kata,

Half engineer, half designer. This mix is where solutions come from that work well and look good too. I look for simplicity, for things that actually connect, because real change starts with real experience. My favorite projects are the ones that solve something that matters, not just something that looks nice.

Outside of work, I trade the screen for the outdoors – swimming, hiking, analog camera slung over my shoulder, chasing inspiration in nature and new cultures. No delete button out there, which I think is part of the appeal.

Back home, I get lost in baking: measuring, mixing, waiting for something to rise. Something about starting with a few simple ingredients and ending with a treat feels like the best kind of problem-solving
