Born from a Hungarian father in a small town in Ontario, Canada, Attila Sr. instilled (well, tried) the honorable skills of fishing and driving boats. Attila Jr.'s joy came from loving dogs, tap dance and redesigning his mother's living room. He followed his Mother's American footsteps and moved to the Big Apple at a curious youthful age to live in a shoe box on the Upper West Side and dance at Lincoln Center with the New York City Ballet.
The acclaimed city swallowed him up quickly and furiously but it still wasn't far enough away from Brantford, Ontario. So Attila joined the Tokyo Ballet Company in Japan. The language barrier was an obstacle at first, but Csiki (pronounced "chi-kee". Mhmm, "cheeky") harnessed his Leo spirit and insatiable love for a challenge and eventually, Attila adopted the Japanese language and culture into his life forever.
In 2007, with a taste of the world and many years of experience, Attila had the greatest honor to join the Lar Lubovitch Dance Company in New York. Throughout several years with the Modern Master, Attila's artistic expression was nurtured and brought forth within the studio and shone in the warm spotlight of concert stages all over the world.
Attila rounded up his performance career in 2015 on the Broadway stage with An American In Paris choreographed and directed by Christopher Wheeldon. To no surprise, he was awarded the Outstanding Broadway Chorus Performer Award by the Broadway League.
Today, he continues to share his knowledge with the upcoming generations of performing artists. He coaches dancers in Europe, Canada, Japan, and the USA.

As a child growing up in rural Canada, I began performing with the inspiration of my father’s Hungarian heritage in traditional Folk Dance. Over the years the Performing Arts has taken me across the world and back several times, leaving me with a worldly connection to vast amounts of color. My designs are inspired by my travels and the relationships I have accumulated over time. Exploring the world with a sense of style, fearless ideas, and clever coordination. Depending on the client, my style compliments what is in front of me. Being inspired in a specific space is detrimental to the designs journey for both me and the client. And by Implementing the elements of design we can discover what works best for your home. “Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Design is knowing which ones to keep.” - Scott Adams

While working on Broadway as a performer in the show “An American In Paris”, I was able to obtain an official Interior Design certificate at Parsons School Of Design. I have lived in New York City for over 20 years. I am constantly amazed how my clients perceive their own home. Whether it’s a small studio apartment on the Lower East Side, a brownstone on in Brooklyn, a luxury high-rise in Hudson Yards, or a small house in Queens, NYC’s apartments are full of charm and character. I will always find the most potential for your space with considering your expectations and goals.
