(01) — About
I'm an independent designer and creative developer from Jakarta. For eight years I've partnered with studios, startups and cultural institutions to turn quiet ideas into loud, tactile, unforgettable things on the web — sites people remember long after they close the tab.
Previously design lead at a Singapore product studio. Today I work solo or plug straight into your team — from the first sketch to the final commit, with no hand-off in between.
I care about typography, performance and the small moments of motion that make an interface feel alive. Everything I ship is accessible, fast and built to last.
