About Me

My job is to make sure that our trainings are not only informative and useful, but also aesthetically pleasing. The most important part of this task is being able to effectively convey deep knowledge and dry data through colorful and eye-catching designs. Sometimes it’s difficult to find balance between these two worlds, but this is also what excites me the most.

In graphic design, I strive for simplicity: I believe that appearance should never overpower content or overwhelm the audience, but it must organically serve the speaker’s message. I love icons, pictograms, charts, and other infographics, because they capture the message in the simplest possible form while also giving space for creativity.

I don’t have a degree in Engineering, but through developing our trainings I learned a lot about AV Technology and Lightware’s products, and I have grown really fascinated by them over the years. I find it inspiring to work with such incredibly smart people, who design, develop and operate these amazing devices.

Design is thinking made visual

Studies

Viola graduated in marketing and economics from a vocational high school, then studied visual communication at Budapest University of Technology and Economics. After completing a bachelor's degree at the university, she also completed a training course in applied graphics.
