Who Am I?
Hey there, 🌟 I'm Dena, a creative spirit from Indonesia, now weaving my design magic in Belgium.

As a designer, I believe in keeping things simple and elegant, even when dealing with complex projects. I thrive on meaningful connections, embrace vulnerability, and champion accessibility and growth. Designing isn't just a job for me

I have 5+ years of experience. I've worked in different settings, from small startup to big company. My time in startup taught me to adapt quickly, while larger companies showed me how to balance the needs of the business, stakeholders, and technical limitations.

My creative type is Visionary, it means that “life is limited only by the boundaries of our own beliefs”. And it’s true, I love to push the limit to well, everything!

I highly recommend Dena for her exceptional skills as a UX/UI designer. Throughout our collaboration, she has consistently demonstrated her ability to translate complex business strategies into intuitive and effective user experiences. Dena has an innate talent for building screens and interfaces that not only look great but also make perfect sense for the business, seamlessly aligning with our strategic objectives.

One of Dena's standout qualities is her ability to think outside the box. On numerous occasions, she has surprised me with innovative ideas and creative solutions that elevate our projects beyond expectations. Her fresh perspective and out-of-the-box thinking have been invaluable in driving the success of our initiatives.

Dena also collaborates effortlessly with product managers, developers, and other stakeholders, ensuring that everyone is aligned and working towards the same goals.

She has a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every element of the design contributes to the overall user experience. Whether it was wireframes, prototypes, or final design assets, Dena approached each task with precision and creativity.

Beyond her technical skills, She actively seek and give feedback, collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, and are always willing to go the extra mile to ensure project success. Her positive attitude and passion for design make them a joy to work with, and she has significantly contributed to the innovation and growth of our product offerings.

“Genuinely talented” is the first thing that comes to mind when I think about Dena.
I know Dena when she joins the International Youth Exchange Program Selection as one of the participants, and I was one of the Judges, we have been in contact ever since. She possesses a unique mix of raw talents and driven mentality, which sets a great example for the rest of the participants, and explains why everyone loves working with her.
For the past 4 years, I've seen her not only excel at the core elements of her work – like restaurant services and management -- but also learn other tasks that extend well beyond the scope of her role, like web design and web developer, marketing, and even excelling the role as a relationship manager later on.
