Orsolya Herbein
Orsolya (short Orsi, but pronounced Orshie) didn’t wait long before revealing her passion for art and creativity: At the tender age of three, she won an International Drawing Competition in Eastern Europe. Once the time came for Orsolya to pick a career path, graphic design seemed a natural fit. Orsolya attended the New England School of Art and Design in Boston and obtained a B.A. in Graphic Design.
After graduating, Orsolya began her professional design career primarily in the pharmaceutical industry, while continuing to serve various clients as a freelance designer. With the rapid rise of digital and web media, Orsolya saw it essential to broaden her skills and returned to school to study Interactive Media and Web Design. This allowed her to become very versatile, multifaceted, and able to offer a wide range of services in the design industry.
Orsolya’s creative approach is similar to problem-solving: How can a visual best represent the core meaning it needs to convey? Orsolya’s clean style brings together both aesthetics and function with never an unnecessary element in sight. As an immigrant from Hungary, and having always been interested in different cultures and ways of living, Orsolya brings an open mind with an ability to step into the shoes of her clients. Her work always involves thorough research and asking questions that flaunt her lovely accent.
A mother of two, a devoted wife, and caregiver of quite a few pets, she lives in Northern Maryland. She enjoys nature, books, and pretty much anything thought-provoking that has the potential to deepen her values and better her character.
