I'm Elaine ‧₊˚❀ apa kabar?
Born and raised in Indonesia, "Apa kabar," or "How's it going?" is how we usually greet each other.
I 'm Elaine — I'm good at making ideas happen and taking workflows into visual representations that spark joy.
❀ I'm also good at identifying patterns across the product - being collaborative - thriving in ambiguity.
❀ What sets me apart is that I design for impact, I set a vision, and I'm a goals over roles type of person.
Thanks for stopping by.
Talks and panels — recently, with Adobe and Boston University.
Grateful for the opportunity — I've hosted multiple workshops sharing about my journey as an International Student, how to level up in UX design, and more. Check out the carousel below.
I've built a community on Instagram through sharing about my design journey on Instagram, too.
It's helped me be more comfortable with speaking in public, understanding the social media algorithm, and being creative.
Plus, it helps me give back to the community.
Outside of work — lotsa fun stuff. :)
I've been getting into bouldering lately, it's been so much fuuuun.
Other stuff: hiking, running, doing photography, cooking, restaurant hopping, traveling… and occasionally brain-rotting on Instagram.
Looking forward to the Warriors to start again. Go Dubs.
