I am currently
Figuring out what's next. After the startup that I co-founded failed I was facing severe depression and burnout so I took a long and extended break to recuperate. Thankfully with time and a lot of love and support from friends and family I'm feeling a lot better now!
Experimenting with quirky ideas and products. I use a public Telegram channel as a way to work with the garage door up and a place for discovering happy accidents.
Designing this website specifically for collecting and connecting my thoughts. Andy Matuschak's and Syzmon Kaliski's sites are huge sources of inspiration and will very likely influence the shape of my own notes.
Facing a constant stream of harrassments on Twitter because people often confuse my handle with another horrible person with the same name, and also because Twitter's reply UI sucks.
Work and projects
monokei.co I designed MONOKEI's 2022 website.
Keycaps by MONOKEI I was approached by MONOKEI to help design a set of clean and modern looking legends for their Doubleshot PBT keycaps.
Conversable for Scriptable I made an open source iOS 14 widget using Scriptable that allows you to add your favourite contacts to your home screen. The widget received a nice mention in Episode 61 of the Automators podcast (~01:08:37).
Extended Icons I made a bunch of beautiful glyphs and icons for your Shortcuts. This is my first attempt at selling something as an independent maker and even though the sales are embarassingly low, I'm happy that I made them and shared the process in public.
Surat Khabar—A News Reader Surat Khabar means newspaper in the Malay language. I made this to keep up to date with the latest news earlier this year when COVID-19 happened. The live version has some bugs and I'll probably never fix them.
Sequence—A Data Labelling Startup I co-founded a data labelling startup where we helped data scientists quickly and accurately label their data. As a co-founder I've contributed immensely to the day-to-day operations of the company including product strategy and management, client project management, while also performing my roles as a Product Designer and Frontend Developer.
Supahands—A Crowdworking Platform I joined Supahands as a Product Designer and helped design, build, and ship various internal and user-facing tools including an internal design system.
Talenox—A SaaS Human Resource Startup I joined Talenox as their first Product Designer (also first hire) and helped shape the early product and platform features.
Various Icons Over the course of 10 years I've made various icons for user interfaces, websites, and for personal use and I've archived some of them over on Dribbble.
