this is Emma. Since the crayon days, she’s been the go-to for anything needing a creative twist. Design wasn’t a happy accident, it was a glitter charged mission, turning imagination into something fun, felt, and maybe a little funny.

Born in Indonesia and raised on coloring books and chaos, this is Emma. I’ve been designing since the crayon days, now I mix fun with function across UI/UX, branding, motion, and more.

From a multimedia-focused high school to a degree in visual communication design, I’ve dabbled in a buffet of creative work, from branding and print media to motion graphics. I like to think of it as an early design world tour that’s still going and still full of surprises.

Lately, I’ve been leaning into UI/UX and digital product design, where stories can actually be lived and interacted with. There’s something exciting about how digital design can guide, connect, and sometimes even surprise people, and that’s what keeps me curious. I’ve supported product teams before, and now I’m crafting my own case studies to learn through making. Still, I’m always open to exploring different design paths because design is all about connecting with people, no matter the medium.

I see design as a big creative playground, where ideas come to life and people feel seen. Whether it’s a brand, a scrollable story, or something in between, I’m here to build things that feel good and do good.

To me, design feels like a giant creative playground where I get to mix fun with purpose. I build experiences that are engaging, intuitive, and just the right amount of surprising, like finding the perfect swing at the park. Every project is a chance to make something that feels thoughtful and alive, inviting people to join the play. It’s not just about making things look good, but about creating something that feels like home, wherever you are.

When I’m not nudging pixels, I’m probably baking banana cake, knitting, binging crime shows, or taking badminton way too seriously. 🎮✨

When my cursor’s taking a nap, I’m probably baking to see what joy tastes like (choco chips🍪and banana cake🍞are my go-tos) or knitting🧶something cozy enough to count as wearable art. I binge crime shows like I’m training for detective school 🔎, get creatively sidetracked by music videos📺, and take badminton🏸 way too seriously for a “just for fun” player. Throw in a PlayStation controller 🎮, and you’ve got a designer who’s just as serious about play as she is about craft.
