Learnings & writing

Beyond the work

When I'm not focused on my professional projects, you can usually find me exploring my creative side through aquascaping and fishkeeping. Designing and maintaining these miniature underwater ecosystems requires a unique blend of patience, design aesthetics, and attention to detail.

I am also bilingual and speak Indonesian, which keeps me connected to different cultures and perspectives. Whether I'm diving into a new creative hobby or chatting with a global community, I love finding inspiration in unexpected places.
