In Hungary, in addition to birthdays, name days are also celebrated. On these special occasions, children often receive small gifts as well.

As usual, on one of my name days as a child, I devoted my time to drawing. I actually totally forgot that I was celebrated on this day. My mother came to my room and handed me a small package: – Happy name day! I’ve never been so surprised! In the package there was a set of 24 colored pencils, which I immediately started using. That was one of my best childhood memories.

This little story describes me the best. Art has always been a part of my life. From a young age on I spent my days and nights drawing. This artistic striving led me to a professional path in the design industry. My studies in applied arts and textile design in Hungary eventually led to an M.A. degree in fashion design from the Berlin University of Applied Sciences in 2017.

My print designs reflect my Hungarian personality and culture: they are fresh, funny and colorful. For my artwork, I take inspiration from nature, traditional and contemporary trends, geometric forms, and girl power.

I’m Edina, textile surface & pattern designer from Pécs, Hungary. Since 2013 I am living with my son, husband and cat in Berlin, in Germany, my beloved second homeland.
