KYLA TANGKE ALLO
I believe in the power of design and its ability to shape experiences, evoke emotions, and solve complex challenges. Growing up in Indonesia, a country known for its diverse cultures, traditions, and natural beauty, has shaped my approach to design: with a deep appreciation for the intricate beauty found in everyday life. By blending aesthetics, functionality, and human-centered principles, I strive to craft designs that tell compelling stories, resonate with people, and contribute positively to our world.
