I take early ideas and turn them into products people can use.

Scroll

I design digital products and help ship them.I start with the problem, shape the product,design the interface and its identity,then work closely with the builduntil the released product feels right.

02 — ApproachThis is how I take a product from a rough question to a working release:

01

LISTEN

I listen for the parts users find hard to explain.

I use interviews, desk research, and the tools people already rely on. The most useful insight often appears after the first answer.

02

FRAME

I turn scattered findings into a clear product direction.

I group what I hear, write a focused problem statement, and use it to decide what belongs in the product.

03

CRAFT

I design the interface, system, and brand as one experience.

Information architecture, flows, type, colour, components, and voice are designed together because users experience them together.

04

SHIP

I stay close to the build, test the work, and improve what ships.

Testing, a closed beta, and post-release reviews show what needs to change. A design only proves itself once people can use it.

05 — About

I design for people who already have enough to think about.

My job is to make the next decision easier.

I am a self-taught product designer based in Surabaya. I co-founded Skripsweet, an AI thesis-mentoring platform for Indonesian students. I lead its research, information architecture, interface, design system, brand, and marketing site.

Before Skripsweet, I spent five years working directly with freelance clients on logos, identity systems, and responsive websites. I also designed a weather-prediction interface and ran usability tests at Infinite Learning, then worked on the franchise website for Pak D Group.

My background in brand design helps me make products feel consistent. I can shape the voice, visual system, and interface together, then keep them aligned as the product grows.
