Jonathan Kusnadi
Motion + Graphic Designer

Every weekend, I’d turn the living room into a workshop. I’d clip gundam parts from the plastic frame, sand every edge, and test-fit until everything clicked. What stayed with me was the shift. The moment hundreds of parts became one.

That’s how I design. It starts as a grid of elements, full of possibilities. Piece by piece, I work with purpose, chasing the quiet details until the work reads as a whole.

Bring me the pieces and let’s build it out together!
