I'm Dena, your personable designer and illustrator.

ABOUT
Indonesian-born Canadian resident navigating life in Vancouver, BC. I help bring businesses up by creating fun brand identities through research and collaboration.
I’m an avid believer in people—with me on your team you can bet that I’ll not only be your designer but a personal cheerleader (without the pom-poms).
It’s a joy to help others succeed through design, and I’m always looking for new opportunities to collaborate with like-minded individuals.
