    I am a Publication Designer / Visual Artist / Researcher / Art Director / Graphic Designer / Project Manager / Illustrator based between Singapore and Surabaya.

   With an itchy hand to beautify and a keen eye to find beauty everywhere, my works magnify the unnoticeable details of everyday life. I make sure of this by being as hands-on and self-producing as possible (and finding joy in its tediousness). I embrace slowness in the process and cherish it more than the results; as I create for self-expression and experimentation, they feel real.

   More than creating work I can call my own, I prefer talking about what is “ours”. My proudest projects are collaborations with my confidants, often involving communal activities. I am open to creating more memories and projects. Send love letters to my line and let’s have a chat in my Haus :)
