About

I research it, design it, and build it.

I'm Arman Muhamad, a designer-engineer working out of Jakarta, Bogor or wherever the work is. I came to design from computer engineering and computer science, so I work across both sides: understanding the problem, designing the product, and shipping it.

Today that means product design and Flutter development on the Kontan; running my own company, AgricodeX; and a Master of Design at Universitas Multimedia Nusantara.

How I work

Research first

Design should be driven by research and aimed at real problems for real people, not at trends.

Constraints are material

Because I also write the code, I weigh technical limits against the best experience while designing, not at handoff.

With the whole team

I work closely with cross-functional teams, and keep up with design practice so the decisions hold up over time.
