About Me

I am a research-driven communication strategist and creative practitioner with 5+ years’ experience in visual communication and community-centred creative practice, specialising in storytelling, visual identity, and speculative design. I have researched and developed communication frameworks that supported an Indonesian NGO during the challenges of COVID-19. I have led rebranding initiatives for events and organisations, resulting in significant increases in audience reach and engagement.                
         I am now seeking to bring strategic vision and creative energy to studios and organisations at the intersection of culture and innovation, with a focus on audience-centred communication.





On My Practice

As an Indonesian artist, researcher, and storyteller, I focus on the relationships between identity, space, memory, and care. Guided by the belief that every story deserves a form that does it justice, my practice explores how narratives can be translated across research, writing, visual communication, and participatory experiences.
         My work often examines the layered intersections of identity, justice, and belonging, while tracing the relationships between humans, nonhumans, and the environments we shape and inherit. During my time at the Royal College of Art, my project “On The Margins of Their Manifesto” explored the poetics and politics of space, investigating how environments hold memory, reinforce power, and shape our everyday understanding of ourselves and others.
