Building a gundam model kit is an exercise in precision and perseverance. Each plastic piece, still attached to its frame, holds the potential for something greater—but it demands careful hands and a sharp eye that transforms raw parts into a seamless whole.
Much like building a gundam, graphic design is an interplay between engineering and artistry. Every element—color, typography, composition—must fit harmoniously, balancing expression and functionality. I strive to create designs that are both visually compelling and purposeful.
Hi! I’m Jonathan Kusnadi, a graphic designer based in Los Angeles, specializing in motion and brand design.
