Born multiracial in Jakarta, Indonesia, I have been naturally exposed to different cultures and traditions since I was little. With Indonesia being one of the most ethnically diverse societies, I was always able to experience and analyze how different cultures interact and view spaces in different ways which influenced me when designing my projects. Growing up with my dad being a contractor and a real estate developer back home, I have been exposed to the building arts industry since I was little. I loved going to his projects and learning all the processes of how the different buildings and houses were being designed and built. I also got the opportunity to be involved in community service trips around Indonesia which allowed me to see how important space design is to create a harmonious society that brings people together.To me, a well-designed space is where everyone can feel comfortable and accepted despite their diverse backgrounds. It is where people can come together, relate to, and learn about each other by simply being in the same space. Hence, my work is always community-driven. They are focused on finding a balance between different cultures while keeping sustainability in mind. I want my designs to not only focus on aesthetics but also on finding ways to celebrate different cultures and stories through experiences, fulfilling Indonesia’s motto; “Bhineka Tunggal Ika” (Unity in Diversity).
