Kata Ragasits

Freelance Web & Graphic Designer

Budapest, Hungary
My designer carrier didn't start very easily. I had very limited opportunities in the little village where I was born. What I know today I learned in an autodidact way.

Since I know my mind I was interested in colors and shapes it was exciting to copy the beauty of nature. Unfortunately all the works I created back then are vanished now.
In 2002 I decided that no matter what, I'll become a porcelain painter at the Majolika factory of Hódmezővásárhely. I soon realized that this profession is dying and artisan work is replaced with automated sticker printing. It required no skill and craftsmanship, so.I moved on.

I enrolled at Universtiy of Szeged in 2005. I was still interested in arts, freehand drawing and painting. I wanted to be an art teacher. It's crazy, but I only bought my first desktop computer in 2006. I never would have thought that my life finds its purpose thanks to that. During college I had to look for an extra source of income. I wanted something close to my profession and this is how I stumbled upon webdesign. My story is classic, first I worked for friends and later companies started paying attention too.

In 2011 I moved to Budapest and landed at my first office job. Since then I had the chance to see the inner workings of many companies, but somehow freelancing is the closest to my heart so at the end of 2013 I decided that I'm dedicating all my energy to this lifestyle.
