Since 2008, she has been working as a freelance designer and director of animated films. Her shorts Iron Egg (2015) and Mermaids and Rhinos (2018) received invitations to many international festivals where they were both highly praised.

Viktória’s latest film, Shoes and Hooves (2024), explores the dilemmas of making connections, fitting in and self-acceptance.
