HILKA RIBA
Internationally recognized, award winning graphic designer with a special interest in lettering. 
I studied typography at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, Hungary. After having worked for various advertising agencies I became a freelance designer to be able to design for clients from around the world. 

My work has been featured in a number of international design publications, exhibitions, design sites and blogs. I have won a number of awards over the years, both as member of larger creative teams and as independent designer.
