I was born in Budapest in 1986. My childhood was greatly influenced by my grandfather's love of woodworking. This has defined my life from early on. The unique atmosphere of the violin making workshops first captivated me in 2009 at the age of 23. The creation, the cohabitation of the industrial and the artistic activity has made this profession an essential part of my life.
After a few years of work experience in abroad, I opened my own workshop, where I make fine bowed string instruments - violins, violas, cellos - and also do restoration.
