Hi, i’m viktoria
I’m an interaction designer and tech creative with over 8 years of experience working across design of digital products and emerging technologies. My path’s been anything but linear, and honestly, that’s how I like it. I’ve always been driven by curiosity and a desire to understand how things work and what's beyond the next horizon.
Recently, I earned a degree in Interaction Design, which gave me the space to go deeper into topics I care about, like the impact of AI and emerging tech, the privacy-first design, and how speculative thinking can help us build better futures. I’m interested in the intersection of technology, ethics, and human experience, I write about it on Medium. I’m a founder of Boxfish Labs - a space to explore dat privacy with creative methodologies.
I see technology as a tool and a design material. It’s powerful, and with that comes responsibility. Right now, I’m focused on shaping what’s next. That means helping to launch innovative, meaningful projects that are grounded in real human needs and future-aware thinking. Whether it’s prototyping a concept, crafting an interface, or imagining systems, I bring design methodologies, critical thinking, and a whole lot of care.
I'm open to collaborations and talks, don't hesitate to drop me a line: bikiviktoria@gmail.com

The Right To Be Forgotten
Contributors: Fogarasy Tamás, Ágoston Nagy, Szabó István
My master’s project explores the "Right to be Forgotten" as suggested by the GDPR, focusing on individuals’ ability to remove personal data in a broader sense. Despite legislative support, effective user-centric deletion practices are lacking, leaving users vulnerable to misuse. Inspired by biomimicry, this project draws parallels between the tropical boxfish's defensive mechanisms and privacy protection strategies.
The project proposes a speculative “Boxfish” device that allows users greater control over their data by adapting the boxfish's defensive strategies to data protection: scaring away data predators (security), camouflaging data (obfuscation), and emitting toxins (data deletion). This concept envisions a protective layer between users and “data predators”, the unseen and intrusive data collectors.
Using a research-through-design process, the project applies speculative design to reframe current data practices.

Sustainable Sentients: designing a cult with good intentions
Contributors: Kristhel Ramos Rodrigues, Ferenczy Bálint
A critical design project questioning consumerism and landfill waste, at the same time exploring ethical boundaries in influencing consumer behavior, even with good intentions.
The concept suggests a future where people worship sustainable raw materials as planet saviours, in our case, the SCOBY (symbiosis of bakteria and yiest), a biodegradable innovative biocellulose, also widely known as kombucha.
We explored the values of a society of conscious living that prioritizes a biodegradable material as a default buying choice. To keep its members, ex-fashionistas, accountable on their way to developing more conscious buying habits the society eventually gains features of a cult.
We designed the hypothetical experience of cult members with a surveillance app and AR kombucha-worshiping solution. We applied dark patterns that could manipulate fashion enthusiasts into adopting positive behavioral changes, raising ethical questions: can such manipulation be justified if it helps to save the planet?

Bubble Gum Run is a fun runner game concept made in Unreal Engine, set in a sticky, candy-coated world where you collect bubbles and race endlessly through gum-filled chaos hoping to find an exit.
“Chill Like A Snake” smart bench concept
Contributors: Tetiana Tarenkova, Emese Hubert, Judit Boros
Chill Like a Snake placemaker is a smart bench and interactive hangout spot designed for the MOME campus, inspired by the shape and movement of snakes, just like architects, engineers, and scientists who’ve long been inspired by these amazing creatures. It helps people see snakes as valuable and peaceful neighbors, encouraging care and curiosity instead of fear. The bench also doubles as a stretching spot, where you can try out interactive snake-inspired exercises.
Emotiballs
Contributors: Tatiana Tarenkova, Agoston Nagy
This emotional check-up tool helps children explore and express their emotions through colourful, responsive balls that react to hand proximity with sounds. Inspired by the Kimochi faces, it offers a playful way for kids to identify and communicate their feelings, fostering emotional awareness and empathy.
Batoid
Contributors: Camille Vad, Lola Orban, Renata Dezso, Kalman Tarr
A prototype of an biomimetic robot with gesture control inspired by stingrays, with their fluid movements and sensitive skin.
Stingrays often perceive touch as a threat, this is why we implemented gesture-based, touchless control using computer vision and Arduino, enabling the robot to respond to hand movements and facilitating a natural, respectful interaction between a human and an animal. The prototype features a flexible 3D-printed mesh structure that mimics stingray propulsion through servo motors and a ball mechanism.
