About

I’m a Jakarta-based illustrator, visual artist, and creative entrepreneur with 15 years of professional experience turning ideas into playful, emotionally resonant visuals. I began working with clients in 2011 and transitioned into a full-time creative career in 2015. Since then, I’ve collaborated with local and international brands, publishers, and creative teams across illustration, campaign visuals, murals, merchandise, and IP-driven storytelling. My work is known for its cute, colorful, and uplifting visual language—playful characters, bold compositions, and joyful details that feel approachable yet intentional. Beneath the cheerful surface, I focus strongly on narrative, identity, and emotional connection, helping brands and audiences feel something, not just see something. Outside the studio, I’m deeply inspired by travel, nature, and the underwater world. Scuba diving—especially in Indonesia’s rich marine landscapes—has shaped my visual sensibility, color palettes, and recurring themes of flow, curiosity, and discovery. I’m also the founder of FRUIT MACHINE, my independent creative brand and IP platform. Through FRUIT MACHINE, I develop original characters, merchandise, creative workshops, and community-based experiences such as the Fruit Machine Creative Club—a safe, judgment-free space for people to reconnect with creativity and flow.

We are not only cute and colorful, but we also try to reduce plastic waste and be more responsible in producing our merchandises. We use paper based wrappers and we banned duct tapes from all of our delivery packaging, because we believe by being cute, we don't have to make the environment suffering with our waste. We produce our fabric goods in small batches to make sure that our products are owned by the admirers and doesn't go to waste. We recently branched out our services for corporate custom requests.

  • Founder and Owner at Curious
    Oct 2010 - Jan 2016 · 5 yrs 4 mos

    I created Curious in 2010. It's a continuity of challenges in how to express my originality through my designs, also intertwining them with what the market wants, understanding the customer, the designs, finding the best way in production, etc. Running a business really gives me a great point of view from both customer side and business/brand owner.

  • PR Executive at CHH - Creative Hothouse Technologies Pte. Ltd.
    Jul 2014 - Nov 2015 · 1 yr 5 mos

    Named as the public relation executive but most of my works were in copywriting and notification management. I was responsible for the in-app notification copywriting, scheduling through a system and reporting. Understanding the user's in-app cycle is key, hitting the right message at the right time was a part of my challenges.
