Digital Product Designer & Director. Portfolio→

Hi, I’m Tündi ☺ Fueled by 15+ years in technology with a passion for social good, I’ve had the privilege of consulting as a digital design lead for clients like Google NEST, the Army, IBM Watson, the Oscars, American Express, and many others.

I hold a Master's in Interactive Telecommunications from New York University and a Bachelor's in Communications from Boston University.

  • Hi, I’m Tündi ㋡ I’m Transylvanian, a 1st generation American, and my name means “Fay” in English.

    I’ve worked for some of the world's leading companies, and my work has won a Webby Award (equivalent to an Oscar for the internet) and has been featured in ProductHunt, The Verge, VentureBeat, CNET, VoiceBot.ai, and in over 200+ other publications and news sources.

    I’ve spoken to students at NYU Tisch, the Parsons School of Design, Pratt Institute, the School of Visual Arts, CULTUREHUB, and co-hosted NYU’s Adjacent: the online journal for emerging media.

    I taught a mindfulness-focused creative career development course at NYU Tisch, and compiled it into an digital course which you can check out here.

    My clients include Google NEST, Google Creative Lab, Google Fiber, IBM Watson AI Cognitive Division, The Army, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, UFC, OkCupid, NBC Universal, Royal Caribbean Innovation Lab, Gucci, Hermes, Diesel, etc.

    I hold a Masters from New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP), and a Bachelors in Communication from Boston University with a minor in art history. I’m also a certified coach in business, entrepreneurship, and creativity, and when not working I’m training up to become a private pilot (on Cessna 172 Skyhawks).

  • DesignLifeWell™ (DLW) is an innovative creative career development platform I created after helping countless independent creatives gain career confidence mindfully by applying UX frameworks to their own lives since 2015. DLW empowers creatives to craft their futures through the power of design.

    Since then, I’ve taught the course at NYU Tisch, and spoke to creative professionals and students at the Parsons School of Design, Pratt Institute, the School of Visual Arts, CULTUREHUB, nuSchool, and was featured as a speaker on Working Not Working.

    The course is now online and any creative can sign up at designlifewell.com.
