Hello, I'm Lou

I am a Budapest-based freelance illustrator and designer specialising in editorial and advertising projects. My work incorporates conceptual often witty ideas with a clean, minimalistic composition. I enjoy working on topics such as mental health, sex and relationship, women's rights, and opinion pieces. 

When not illustrating, I love doing music photography, attending to concerts and festivals, and traveling.
