About Me

I am a UX researcher at an e-commerce company. I got an MSc graduate in Behavioural and Economic Science programme from the University of Warwick.
I have a great passion about behavioural science, especially in its application for solving social problems.

In my leisure time, I like to travel and play sports. My favourite sports are football, badminton, and swimming.
I also like photography, music, arts, and literatures. Back at home I am investing on some local Indonesian paintings, from Java and Bali.

I also like cooking a lot, and I have some great recipes to share :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been awarded as the best undergraduate thesis writer for my experimental research in consumer behaviour.

Teach, Learn, Share
