UI/UX & Product Designer — remote, worldwide
I help founders and product teams turn raw ideas into digital design that is clear, measurable and ready to build — not a pretty mockup that stops inside Figma.
Eight years moving between research, design and technical discussion with engineers taught me one thing: good design is design that can actually be built. Everything listed here I use daily — none of it is CV decoration.
Every project below was handled end to end: user research, design exploration, and a clean handoff file for the development team.

25+ end-to-end projects: UX audits, app redesigns, design systems built from nothing. Working directly with founders, with no layers in between.
Nusantara Teknologi — fintech
Led design on a payments app with two million active users. Built the company's first design system and mentored three junior designers.
Kelasin — edtech
Designed a mobile-first learning experience for secondary students. Field research across six cities to understand how students outside big cities actually study.
Studio Pixelab — digital agency
Where it started: 30+ landing pages and company sites across industries. This is where my speed and my eye for type were forged.
"Raka is the only designer who, in the first meeting, asked about the business targetrather than my favourite colour. The result: a new onboarding that lifted activation 52% straight away."
"The handoff file was remarkably tidy — tokens, spacing, states, all documented. My engineering team called it the best handoff they had ever received from an external designer."
"We went through three designers before Raka. The difference? He keeps to the timeline, offers options unprompted, and takes revisions without ego. Every design project we have now goes to him."
