My interest in design developed from a very young age. In junior high school I already knew I wanted to be a graphic designer. Different from children of my age, I have always immersed myself in the world of arts, I enjoyed watching the opera or theatre performances and it developed in the way I saw and felt about things. I found my interest wasn’t limited to only design — I also had an interest in both music and literature

My family was also a great influence. My parents were in the printing industry and my eldest sibling was a graphic designer from ITB, so it was only natural that I adopted an interest in that world.
