About

Ah, young Justen.

Back then, life was carefree: no responsibilities, taxes, or rent to worry about. My thoughts were all over the place, spontaneous and unpredictable. If you spent any time with me, you’d quickly learn to expect the unexpected. My approach? Stand out, be the goat among sheep, always finding a way to grab attention.

I’m originally from Indonesia with Chinese roots, but I still can’t speak Mandarin to this day. It’s a tricky language with way too many words to memorize. It is what it is.

Say hello to teenage Justen.

A quirky character, known for his scandalous romantic adventures, eccentric thoughts, and humor that, while sometimes extreme, grew on people over time. It didn’t take long for him to realize he was a people pleaser, quickly figuring out which jokes hit the mark and which didn’t. But once people got to know him, even the edgier jokes found their audience.

This was a time of self-discovery: uncovering talents, a sharp eye for design, and a passion for creativity. It all started with a school mission trip video, followed by a short film competition, freelancing for video projects, and even doing graphic design for school. But, of course, that was back in the school days.

Later came brand and campaign work for Communauto, NALA Cacao Reserve and Mella Paint. It’s all on Behance.

Say hello to the current me, mature, reliable, and ready to serve. I’ve learned the joys of Canadian taxes and rent, the value of accountability, and, despite years here, I still carry my thick Indonesian accent, a little nod to my roots.

I work as a road designer at the City of Toronto and build my own products on the side.

In September 2027 I move to Jakarta for good.
