​I was born in Switzerland in 1983 to a Czech mother and a Hungarian father. I graduated in Literature and Philosophy from the University of Bologna, and in 2011 I earned a Master’s degree in Film Directing in Paris.

​

Growing up between languages and cultures has shaped my fascination with borderland stories — an ongoing search for identity and belonging. The characters in my stories and drawings move along the thin line between the real and the fantastic, between rebellion and the longing for a safe place to land.

​

After ten years working in cinema, where I refined my sense of visual storytelling, I decided to devote myself fully to writing, comics, and animation.

​

In 2024, I published the children’s book La scatola del nonno (Grandpa’s Box, Edizioni Svizzere per la gioventù) and received a special mention for my graphic novel project Covando me stessa (Cocooning Myself).

 In 2025, I released the fanzine Lisa Gyongy meets Krel – Pollen, commissioned by Réseau BD Suisse and Pro Helvetia, along with my self-published zines Inchiostro (Ink) and The Wall.

​

In 2025, I launched the project “The Ticineser”, a fictional magazine inspired by The New Yorker, created to tell the story of Ticino through its cover illustrations, in collaboration with artists working in the region.

​

In 2026, I founded my own independent and artisanal publishing house, Luna di Pomeriggio edizioni, which is currently under construction.
