About 

I am a future architect originally from Jakarta who is passionate in climate-resilient and sustainable design. I believe that amidst a city's bustling everyday life and twisted politics, design, especially in a large scale and public setting is the key to educating citizens about climate awareness, therefore catalyzing green living and societal peace. In the future, I hope to return to Jakarta and help settle local and national issues of flooding, land subsidence, and informal river settlements.
