About

is a Product designer/strategist/community/photographer/etc,

With a multicultural lens shaped by work spanning the non-profit sector in Indonesia, the luxury design industry in Milan, the music scene in LA & the tech space in SF/NYC, I'm drawn to creating systems that connect culture & data in meaningful ways. Here are some things I have conviction in, and projects I’ve done surrounding it :) 

1. I believe in an outlook of the world where we shape our unique taste identities through inquisitively experiencing the culinary world, travel, art, and image-making, and eventually building the technology systems that we can build to support it!

Touille: Culinary Taste-Profiling with AI-Powered Prompting (2025)
Culture Compass: Software mapping cultural decisions into UX (2025)
Google Labs: Playful AI Interaction for the Custom Objects Market (2024)
Basic.Space: A curated  IRL-to-URL digital marketplace (2023)

2. The evolution of healthcare from a passive, provider-driven model to an active, patient-centered experience

Research: Women's health data in consumer wearables with Dr. Leslie Saxon (2024)
Detecting Biomarkers in Your Urine & Stool
(2023)
BenchSci: Increasing Drug Approvals with AI-Assisted Biomarker (2021)

3. International relations, and building infrastructure + technology while still empowering citizens by upholding sovereignty.

Zoltux: Independent Energy Generation for & by consumers (2025)
Research: Indonesia's Sovereignty & Innovation in Infrastructure Development under Iryna Zaverukha, JD, PhD, SJD (2025)
