Where are you currently working?
I work at one of small advertising agency in Yogyakarta as an Art Director. And now I'm in my effort to build my own studio design (thmd studio).

What do you do outside of design?
Active in the community and other organizations

How would you describe your work?
Graphic design is the way to express, to think by visual, to communicate, to have interaction with our own selves. Graphic design is a fascinating world.

If there was one thing you could change about the web, what would it be?
I will make a cool but freaky web, cool banners and fill it with my works as a place to express myself all at once. Would someone be my sponsor? :D

Your designs have a unique style, where do your ideas and inspirations come from?
I always try to be better than before, so that I have to learn harder everyday. Everyday I make some artworks, though I have other works to do. Like a knife that sharpened every day. So also with work, the more it's practiced the better we get. Before making a work design, I always first read the newspaper or watch film, TV or browse the internet. Sometimes an idea comes from the mood and situation or condition in the place where I do my job. After I get an idea, then I open my files, which are my own works design that I already collect to achieve inspiration. Then I directly open graphic software and start my work. It usually take 30-60 minutes to create one work.

What do you find the hardest thing about design?
The most difficult matter about design is to make people know and understand about design, not just making people say “cool” to our design work.

What would be your ideal job?
Being art director and graphic designer, try instructing and making people understand what's good design and what's bad. Mastering a lot of styles and technical, to be multi-talented with multi-style, I hope. :D

And finally, what do you think of Urban Collective?
Urban Collective? Wow.. it's my favourite site. UC is one good site to learn from. UC is my biggest inspiration.
