Being a graphic designer at Go Mobile is not easy... BUT it's fun, especially with our Communication team is living in different time zones. We've had to align our time because of the tricky time schedule, since most people are in Jakarta (GMT+7), our head temporarily is in Moscow (GMT+3), and our social media manager's in Melbourne (GMT+10). Even with our different schedules, we've managed to keep the communication and work quite well. We realized the importance of being flexible and clear in our communication. Because we are using Asana as our default work management tools, it has been so helpful for us, helping us stay on track even though we're in different time zones. We could still share files, updates, and feedback, even if we weren't online at the same time. To top all of that, our Communication director also arrange us a weekly meeting to adjust our work like talking about strategies for the Social Media post, ask us if we have some trouble with something so we can work it out together, and just catch up with all of us because we are all in different place. Overall working as Graphic designer in Go Mobile while it's challenging it's also fun. The team membership makes the whole office atmosphere warm.

It’s almost New Year! After 12 gorgeous months of working on client projects, I’m diving into my own brand. Pulling it apart a little - because I want to tailor it more for people I serve and the business I would like to become. In the New Year I hope to share more projects, more stories and more useful ideas to help you build brands and websites that help you grow with even more confidence⚡️ (And my work hours are fuelled by the dreamiest view of Kuala Lumpur) Are you pulling together final client projects ahead of Christmas or taking some time to prepare for the year ahead? Where are you all at? 🌏 #branddesign #websiteforbusiness #brandstrategy

This weekend, in conjunction with the KL Kreatif Festival, I found myself exploring downtown Kuala Lumpur. I stumbled upon a newly repurposed event space called The Toffee KL, which also hosts Bernard Chandran’s Myth Evolution Fashion Art Exhibition (running until 20.10.2024). It’s an intriguing space, home to UrMu (Urban Museum), a private collection filled with incredible works from local artists. After soaking in all the creativity on display, I made my way up to the rooftop, adorably named BoomBong. As I stood there, this was my view: a rooftop, looking down on another rooftop, with the towering Warisan 118 standing tall in the background. KL is a city where the old and new meet in unexpected ways. This space, like many others, is breathing new life into an older building. Walking up the stairs, I couldn’t help but admire the well-worn tiles—each one with its own story to tell. There’s something captivating about the juxtaposition of fresh energy in a space that carries the marks of history. The weathered rooftop beneath me reminded me that, in both design and life, we often seek the shiny and new. But sometimes, it’s the aged, imperfect elements that carry the deepest beauty. They represent resilience, history, and the stories that have shaped us. It’s a reminder to honor the past while still moving forward—just as KL does so beautifully with its mix of tradition and modernity. That’s the charm of Malaysia, isn’t it? The rojakness in our food, our culture, and even our architecture What unexpected places have inspired you recently? #Design #Inspiration #Art #Creativity #KualaLumpur #UrbanSpaces

Unlocking Potential Through Pressure I get it—working under pressure can be incredibly stressful. But if you look at it from a different angle, it’s also where your true potential shines the brightest. I experienced this firsthand while working on a video project for SoKlin Royale, in collaboration with renowned fashion designer Deden Siswanto. This video was created as the opening for one of the largest fashion events in Surabaya. Believe it or not, the entire production happened in just one day, with another day for editing, and the video aired the next day. Even now, it’s hard for me to believe how I managed to pull it off. But this experience taught me that to reach your maximum potential, you need to give everything you’ve got—even when the pressure feels overwhelming. It’s moments like these that fuel growth and drive us to become better. #UnderPressure #UnlockYourPotential #CreativeChallenges #VideoProduction #SoKlinRoyale #FashionCollaborations #SurabayaFashion #GrowthThroughChallenges #LinkedInCommunity #CreativeJourney
