Now (new) is an oddly exciting time for me. On a new journey with so many new things happening.
Like all things do, the journey began when I left my 3-year career in Jakarta and moved across the world to start my studies abroad. After an adventurous Salzburg semester, I am now in Copenhagen continuing my education and starting yet another chapter of more adventures to come.
However, as the year turns anew to reveal its surprise (spoiler: coronavirus), I find my life, like many others, disrupted. And now I know for sure that the journey is really just beginning.

2021 - What else is new?
- Going into the year with a lot of optimism. I'll be graduating from my Master's degree. And I have some exciting things planned out for the year.
- I migrated my Notion site from Fruition to Potion as I needed more customizability. And it also comes with faster speed and less maintenance from my side.
- Took a stroll down memory lane and wrote out a full case study on how I designed a booking standard for 10+ products.
- Started my (virtually) visiting graduate researcher role at IS UCLA where I received tutorship on my thesis. Also had the chance to present my work in their monthly colloquium.
- That's all for now! I'm honestly excited for what the future brings. Feel free to connect with me and maybe our paths will cross.

Now in previous years
A glimpse of past nows.
2020
- Walked into 2020 without much of a plan, no new year's resolution, which is very unlikely of me.
- Developed #AIorHuman for my first semester project at Aalborg University Copenhagen.
- Spent a month in Brussels, where I finished a brief portfolio and resume; also got around to finally editing some of my travel photos.
- Volunteered for Design Matters 2020!
- Gave a talk about customizing Notion with Fruition for CPHUX.
- Currently working on my thesis Designing AI. Shoot me an email if you're on to something similar, I'd love to collaborate and be inspired by your work!
