Not another movie-themed viz, right? Sorry, but yes, it is. I was trying out some new design perspectives with my favorite actress Amy Adams, that evolved into an infographic. Click for a handy Illustrator trick!

My favorite graphic artists
Sharing is caring, so here come my top 10 favorite graphic artists. I just ordered a couple of signed prints to freshen up my office wall and because it’s important to support arts if we have the means.
Happy Women’s Day!
I’m lucky enough that never in my life I felt less than a man and experienced no discrimination in any areas of life. I know it’s not the case for all women. Focusing on the negative aspects is always more shocking, but I’m so in for good data vibes.
Using photos: a love & hate relationship
Have you heard about the “picture superiority effect”? Concepts presented with visuals or pictures are better learned and more easily recalled than those without. Dare to use images, but use them right, and don’t overuse!
Westworld S03
I watched the season finale of Westworld yesterday evening and was quite nervous the whole day, as this came out as one of the lowest-rated episodes of the series (correction from this morning: it is the lowest-rated episode of all time).
Does money make us happy?
This is my weekly Makeover Monday submission, I really liked the topic. Also, this means that that’s my 3rd in a row, so wooohooo! It’s striking, that poor, but happy and rich, but sad are basically non-existent categories.
I Am Not Okay With This
In developing countries a higher ratio of women thinks they deserve to be hit than men. I’m not saying it’s our fault that a lot of women suffer from domestic violence for the slightest reasons, but everything starts with respecting ourselves. To all the women out there: you deserve so much better!
Sleepless in school
I rarely feel the urge to take on the weekly Makeover Monday challenge as the topics usually get me down (dying, lack of sanitation, homelessness, trials…), but this seemed to be too cute to pass.
Do the Rosling
Despite all the bad news, we’re facing every day due to the broad media coverage of our modern times, the world is getting better in so many ways. This visualization shows how life expectancy is rising all over the globe in the past 5 decades, while the fertility rate is going down. The causes of these trends root in several factors, but one thing is for sure: we’re living longer than any generations before us.
All the books I’ve read before
Why get out of bed when you can read about people who got out of bed? This pretty much sums up my past weeks, so I decided to make a visualization from an idea that has spent a long time on my to-do list. I put together a database from all the books I’ve read since 2009 (the year I started using moly) and it turned out that the 278 titles almost add up to 100 000 pages.
Prototyping in Figma
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with one of the most popular prototyping tools, Figma. It has a very steep learning curve (especially if you have an Adobe background, as the shortcuts and mechanisms work pretty much the same), and we can quickly draw high fidelity wireframes from scratch to show the clients how the actual product […]
Design Process
I had to come up with a visual about our company’s design process for a client presentation. This pic shows how we get from the brainstorming period through creating prototypes to the phase when we’re ready for the user acceptance test. When there’s a request like that, I always make two versions: a white that […]
One-day dashboard
I had one day to make a fully designed dashboard from scratch, that was quite a challenge. Usually I just have a look at the data, let it sink in and I’ll get back to the task when I came up with a data design. For this I had only 6 hours from the first […]
Driver behaviour analysis
This week I was working on a fleet management dashboard (from data generation and masking to UI) in Power BI and had a really hard time with the design this time. The original report that we wanted to improve contained only one chart, a heatmap in Excel and that was a core element that needed […]
Project Peso UI
At Starschema we’re planning to introduce a blockchain based internal monetary system where pesos can be spent on company gadget. We can earn money by taking part in various social activities like meetup presentations, holding internal trainings or writing blog posts among many other things. Pesos can be transferred to other colleagues too for helping […]
Who are my churners?
Another Power BI demo dashboard fresh out of the oven! All telco companies need to have focused retention programs to mitigate the risk of losing customers by profiling and predicting churners and taking preventive actions. This dashboard lets you analyze the profiles of people who left within the last month (churners) versus the ones who […]
Utilization dashboard design
At the beginning of this year, I got a project to prepare a decent looking demo dashboard in Power BI for our company to use at presales meetings. I chose the topic of utilization as it’s something everyone is interested in, regardless of the industry they’re working in. Tracking the productivity and efficiency of employees […]
Lazy eyes
I’ve been listening to the Silversun Pickups a lot lately and having a hard crush on the song called Lazy eyes, I decided to put my recently lazy hands into use. I don’t have the slightest idea of what popular eye colors mean, but as long as Wikipedia has this covered, let’s just be cool […]
BUD Airport Traffic Statistics
The below infographic I made for a Hungarian dataviz competition, where the data was provided by the Budapest Airport. As the dataset was not that complicated, containing only a date field, country and city as dimensions and three measures (air traffic movement, number of passengers and the capacity of the plane), I saw no use […]
Wine festival infographic
In the past couple of days, I was working on a monumental infographic for a winery. I almost spent 40 hours creating the graphs and icons in Adobe Illustrator, the wine regions of Italy taking 3 hours of drawing in itself. Even though this was an immense piece of work, I learned a lot during […]
Hungarian pay hills and valleys
I was asked by the Hungarian National Academy of Sciences to draw some infographics on the status of the national labour market. The series will contain four pages in the following topics: educational differences, pay gap visualization by gender, women by top career choices and the situation of mothers with small children. The first two […]
New KITS on the block
I just received my first drawing pad (a Wacom Intuos) yesterday and I literally can’t put the pen down ever since I unpacked it. I had the idea of the first illustration to create long before it has arrived. I read a drama by one of my favourite contemporary Hungarian poets (Je suis Amphitryon by […]
Say aloe to my little friends
Plants and I are in a continuous on-again, off-again relationship. Me trying to care, but they refuse to stay alive. The greatest shock came to me this summer when my all-time partner in crime, the dwarf pine threw up the sponge after 3 years. Even if there are hardships in life – in this case, […]
Misfortune cookies
Some weeks ago I found this message in my fortune cookie: Pray for what you want, and work for what you need! After reading it, the thanks for nothing feeling was sweeping through me, pulping in my veins ever since, so I decided to bake my own misfortune cookies that will contain messages against humanity. […]
Vacation around my head
Since holiday this year means replacing the windows in the apartment with days of endless cleaning after, I decided to go back to my happy place for an imaginary vacation through drawing. When we were kids, we spent 10 days in the heart of the Bakony mountains every summer, camping the hell out of nature. […]
Make no little plans
It’s almost 35 degrees for 2 weeks now here in Budapest and all I can think of is learning the transfiguration charm and turning into a polar bear in the icy ocean. Since there’s no letter of acceptance from Hogwarts, I have the water spray bottle in my hands 24/7 (sorry plants, it’s just natural […]
Under the same sky
Guess this is clear by now, that I have quite a big obsession with space. I was more than devastated by not seeing the lunar eclipse last week, as I already imagined the big red moon up in the sky while humming the lines played at the binary sunset in Star Wars. The weather was […]
I’m never enough
Recently started to use drawing as therapy to get out of this thick bowl of shit I’m stuck into these days. When I thought I can’t get any more personal than this, here comes another drawing, inspired by the anthem of my love life from Santigold called Never enough.
Welcome to Me
Last week I wrote about putting together a list of the things that define me. I was in a really bad mood yesterday, so to absorb my negative energies I started to make a visualization out of it. I don’t think this could get any more personal, so I can only say: Hey, there! This is […]
The monster mug of motivation
When I need some time to relax, I usually go surfing on Etsy to discover things I want like crazy, but won’t ever buy because the shipping fee costs more than the product itself. When I so this mug I had the same feeling, but after contemplating for a couple of minutes, I said to myself […]
Scrabble up!
This work of mine is an odd one out in the series of my data-driven designs. My very first standalone illustration was inspired by my boyfriend. A couple of weeks ago I was travelling home looking through the window of a stranger’s car when the idea popped into my mind. Making a personalized Scrabble board […]
