TIGHTS DESIGNER
I’ve always been an entrepreneur, working across graphic design, retail, and creative businesses. I’ve been writing this blog since 2014, sharing my work, creative projects, and business journey.
THIS IS AN ARCHIVE POST FROM 2015 Finally, finally! After a month and a half of delays, the first Virivee shop in Budapest, Hungary opened on Monday. Opening a physical shop is a pretty big milestone for a small independent fashion business, and for me, this is a particularly exciting moment. Virivee is a handmade […]
THIS IS AN ARCHIVE POST FROM 2014 Last week I was filming with Zita Görög, a well-known Hungarian model, actress and television personality, and for the first time, Virivee is going to appear on a TV show that is actually about fashion and aimed at the kind of audience I want to reach. All my […]
THIS IS AN ARCHIVE POST FROM 2014 A few months ago, I applied for two commercial spaces on Dob Street in Budapest, hoping that I would get at least one of them. The spaces were rented out by the local government through an auction system, so there was no guarantee that I would get either […]
THIS IS AN ARCHIVE POST FROM 2014 It all started in July, when my phone rang. A film production company was looking for interesting businesses for an upcoming series, and somehow they came across Virivee. The series was part of a campaign by Telekom, the international telecommunications company. At our first meeting, we mostly just […]

Fashion shows aren’t exactly something you normally do with tights, but the organizers specifically asked me to put together a three-to-five-minute presentation. Afterwards, I also spent a few...
On April 29, 2014, I took part in the Failure Conference as one of the speakers. The idea behind the Failure Conference is to show that failure and setbacks are a natural part of entrepreneurship. The speakers talk about how they got back on their feet, how they moved forward, and how something that […]
Last summer I started looking at Kickstarter and wondering what I could use it for. I wasn’t really interested in raising a lot of money. I mostly wanted to test it. What is running a campaign actually like? How does the whole process work? What do you have to do before, during and after a […]
Last week I received an email inviting me to appear on Ég, föld, férfi, nő, a travel and tourism show on MTV-M1, Hungary’s public television channel. The show airs weekly and each episode presents a different part of the country or a particular city. This episode was about Budapest, and somehow I ended up in […]
