Linear Watch Face

Time is linear. A moment that has passed will never return. Yet, our understanding of time is influenced by the shape of clocks, which are most often circular. To challenge this notion, I designed a linear watch face. The watch face is divided into two sections, reflecting the natural cycle of day and night. From 8 am to 8 pm, a dark background gradually fills the display from left to right, mimicking the progression of sunlight hours. After 8 pm, the background continues its journey, subtly reminding us of the diminishing nighttime. With a quick glance, you can easily determine the current time and anticipate the approaching phase, whether it's the light of day or the night. The design fosters a mindful awareness of the passage of time and rhythm that shape our existence. A linear second hand provides precise timekeeping, while the numeric display blends the colors of the digits with the background, creating a dynamic visual experience. The second hand's color, along with the watch's overall design, pays tribute to Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs, known for their intentional design choices at Braun.

Visa Charts - Accessible & Localized Data Experiences

Visa Chart Components (VCC) is an accessibility-focused data experience design system for the web. The new version of VCC enables users to represent their data experiences in any language and with any number formatting. We took care to ensure that the new localization feature does not compromise on accessibility. After numerous iterations and extensive user testing, we developed an approach that allows rich, accessible expressions to be available in a broad range of languages and locales. This approach efficiently separates between word and numeral data expressions. As a result, all 12 of the currently available chart types in VCC can now be localized. This has increased both VCC's leading built-in accessibility and its robust accessibility potential.

Slalom & Giant Slalom Skis for the Winter Olympic Games

Back in 2017, I was asked to design a set of slalom and giant slalom skis for a peer who I grew up with at a local ski resort. I incorporated many of the specialties we grew up with, such as the Hungarian tricolor, the mindset of skiers, and a remembrance of an influential ski coach. I also wanted to express the outbursting energy of the brand and the skier.

The Future of Switch Buttons for the Web

Switches are the preferred way to adjust settings on mobile devices. They toggle the state of a single item on or off. With the proliferation of responsive design and touch interfaces, these design solutions can now be used beyond mobile devices. However, even in the most advanced design systems on the web, switches are rather static. They do not respond to drag, and they do not behave according to user expected physics. I designed and coded a new switch component that elevates the experience of web switches to the level of their mobile platform-specific siblings.

Reduce Cognitive Fatigue: Use Universially Usable Pickers

Cognitive fatigue is increasing in our daily lives, caused by the increasing number of computing environments, such as spatial and 2D touch/non-touch interfaces. A universally usable picker can help to reduce this fatigue. The prototype of a complex picker showcased above (date and time from years to seconds) supports the evidence that such pickers work well in classic non-tactile 2D web environments, even with complex data sources.

Inkstant

Printers are usually clunky, boring, and consume way too much resources. In 2012, while in college, I felt something better was needed. During a mechanics class, I imagined a printer where the paper is in a roll, so the footprint of the device is way smaller. I also imagined the printer to have a sleek, aluminum body. I also imagined a set of eco-friendly printing solutions, like the default use of eco fonts, and double-sided printing. I designed the printer to be used with the then appearing NFC technology and handheld devices. Thus, next to the hardware, I also designed the UI & UX of an accompanying mobile application.

Color Palette for Linecept

While building the web app of Linecept, a design coordination tool for the rest of us, I realized that I needed a color palette on which I can build a software product. After 12 iterations, this is the solution that I arrived at. The inspiration of the used colors stem from the Golden Gate Bridge and its surroundings, the Marin Headlands. The yellow is inspired by the foothills of Marin Headlands, the Cerulean is inspired by the ocean color in the bay. The International Orange, the color of the Golden Gate Bridge, is contrasting with the blue, as the bridge is contrasting with the entrance of the bay.

Found a pot of gold under the gondola at Heavenly. Who'd have thought the best day of the season (yet) will be on a late March day. Unexpected, spooky, and above all, incredibly light powder to shred alone. 2800ft verticals eight times.

Kirkwood has awesome chutes. Now that we have enough snow, it's time to ski all of them.

It feels great to be back in Innsbruck after such a long hiatus.

12:17 PM • Jan 20, 2024

Finally had the chance to ski the Dolomites.

Another Mammoth weekend. Shred until you can't walk. First in, last out.

Watched the Robb Gaffney Memorial Tribute movie this morning on Youtube. What a wonderful inspiration he is.

Day 2! I could find some places where there was enough snow to ski on yet it was not too busy. After all, it's been a great season opening.

3:23 PM • Nov 12, 2023

First day skiing in the 2023/2024 season. Fun!

Made it to Mammoth. That was a long drive.

7:51 AM • Nov 11, 2023

Mammoth bound this weekend. HW 120 is closed at the moment. Let's see how fast I can get there.
