My name is David. I'm Indonesian, based in Germany, and I've spent 7+ years designing digital products for startups, agencies, and enterprises, mostly in social media, e-commerce, and complex B2B tools. I enjoy learning, building what I'm passionate about, and experimenting with AI, comedy, and photography.

Indonesia · Freelance · Remote
This was the time I discovered HCI (Human-Computer Interaction). I worked as a freelance web designer and video editor for clients mostly in Indonesia, collaborated with creators on video projects, and later launched DoubleCut Studio. I designed small-business websites and produced The Standpoint Podcast, which reached 5,000 plays and 150 followers.
Amsterdam · Full-time · Remote
In 2021, I joined Whello, a digital marketing agency based in Amsterdam, as a web design specialist. I worked from their Bali branch office in Indonesia. I designed and developed websites for clients across various industries, including e-commerce, healthcare, and education. I also collaborated with the marketing team to create engaging content and improve the user experience on the websites.
Washington, USA · Full-time · Remote
This was a huge milestone in my career. I joined AccelByte, a backend-as-a-service platform company based in Bellevue, WA, as a UI/UX designer. I worked on the Client Engineering team, building custom features for clients like Sony, Capcom, and Warner Bros. I partnered with product managers, developers, and other designers to create intuitive, polished interfaces.
Jakarta, Indonesia · Part-time · Remote
Around the same time, I joined one of my closest friends to co-found Menfess.co, a community tool built around X/Twitter API. I led the design and user experience of the platform, focusing on creating a seamless and engaging experience for our users. We grew the platform to over 6,500 monthly active users, grew our revenue, and received positive feedback from the community.
Berlin, Germany · Full-time · Hybrid
I relocated to Berlin, Germany to join Hashtag You, a social commerce company with 1.5M+ customers, as a UX/UI designer. I was promoted to UX/UI Design, Manager II, leading all of the UX efforts and collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve the user experience of our e-commerce brands. I also led A/B tests that improved conversion rates across DACH, FR, and IT markets.
Munich, Germany · Full-time · Remote
In mid 2025, I decided to leave Hashtag You to join 8reasons Digital, a digital design agency based in Munich, Germany, as a Senior UI/UX Designer. Nowadays I work on delivering simple yet effective designs for complex B2B and enterprise interfaces for clients like Transdev, Deutsche Telekom, and Uniper.
I built my first WordPress site in 2012 for a class project (see it here).
This portfolio is built with Next.js and Tailwind CSS.
It's also an AI-native build. The design system, copy, and motion were co-created with AI, and the code was written with AI assistance using Claude, VS Code, and Opencode.
Special thanks to everyone who reviewed this site, and to all the amazing friends and colleagues who've shaped my journey along the way.
