For the last four years, fashion had been my most dominant creative outlet, creating draoupads and learning a lot about designing, whether it's ready to wear outfit or the textile and coloring. But not until 2013 that I had a chance to expand my designing skill. The call was made from Papermoon Pupet Theater, Ria the founder a.k.a this amazing woman from the company ask us to join the team to create the outfit that will be used for their performance on ArtJog event. Since then I have collaborate in some fun and challenging costuming project, and here's some.

Off course it is almost impossible to tell what's my favorite project, all of them had different challenge and fun itself. But two of the most memorable are Laki-laki Laut and Jalan Emas. Laki-laki Laut definitely because its my first costume designing project and introduce me to another designing outlet, plus I feel very 

welcomed in an incredible team, almost like family. The second one is I would say Jalan Emas, to become part of the team consist in amazingly talented artist and having a very different way of creating. And uummm... for the first time (and I'm quite sure its for the last) I actually doing some performance, and maaaann its one hell of a trainwreck..hahahhaa.. Don't ask me to go detail on this ;P. But at least the audience enjoys it (or so I think..).
