I am Krisztian Nagy, an end-to-end UX/UI/Product designer currently based in London, UK. I thrive to provide the best, user-centered designs for websites and mobile apps.
I was born in Hungary in November 1981, started studying computer science during the Commodore 64 era. Fell in love with the web and the creative possibilities within as soon as the internet became available in my home country. I continued my high school and college studies in multimedia and development, finishing in 2003, right after my daughter was born.
In the years that followed, I worked in various agency jobs as designer and project manager on many websites and other digital and creative print campaigns. In this capacity, I worked remotely from Hungary for mostly US- and Europe-based clients.
I moved to the UK in 2012, founded a music-based micro-affiliating startup called Fametune, and brought it from concept to public beta in a matter of 9 months, leading a team of 10, until I was ousted in 2013. Then worked for over a year as a designer/developer at an award-winning London design studio.
This led to an offer to become Director of Design at a $2M French-owned agency, where I managed tens of projects over the course of 18 months. In November 2015, I teamed up with some of the brightest minds to form Line Above Creative Agency. We have worked for such clients as Bombardier (UK), KeyBank (USA), MBS Source (USA) to name a few. The partnership dissolved in 2018 because of Brexit, but I’m still here and took on the lead UX role at different companies, currently working at WeShop, an exciting startup in the heart of London.
I’m passionate about drawing and design, and finding solutions to challenging, complex problems. I’m a creative person with a flair for marketing and pragmatic approach to user experience. I’m presently working on a virtual reality game in my free time, and I’m also an acclaimed DJ and music producer, with over a hundred tunes and remixes released on iTunes and Beatport and other digital music marketplaces under different aliases.

It’s been great working with Kris. He is full of ideas and energy, and he likes to be proactive and take the initiative. He combines a fantastic eye for design with brilliant technical skills to find creative and imaginative solutions. He is also a fun, popular and generous member of the team.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Krisz. He is a very talented designer and developer, hard working and always goes the extra mile on all projects he is working on – he initiated and developed some extra tools for us which turned out to be a game changer for the whole department. Krisz has been a huge asset to our team and I hope I get the chance to work with him again one day.
I’ve worked with Kris on various Projects in the just short of 10 years that I’ve known him. Everything from Music Production and Record Label Management, to Graphic Design, Digital Marketing, Website Design/User Experience, Site build, Business Development and Beyond. He is a Master of envisioning a Product beyond its scope or purpose. His mind works in a way that boggles most clients as he presents them with solutions and ideas beyond what they have imagined. Expounding the true nature and purpose of the proposed concept in the Market place, and truly engaged from start to finish. With impeccable taste and creativity from years of diverse challenges and wins, he is the man to go to if you want to develop an idea into a beautifully designed conversion machine.
