Halo,
Jakarta!

Jakarta's design scene is as chaotic and electrifying as the city's streets — raw, restless, and bursting with something to say. This city doesn't whisper. Whether it's streetwear graphics, bold illustration, or identity work soaked in Batik and wayang influence, everything carries weight, texture, and attitude. Studios like Thinking Room and Reblood push the creative culture forward, while a sprawling underground of indie designers and zine makers keep things honest and loud. Want hand-lettered type that stops you mid-scroll? A brand identity built from centuries of visual tradition? A poster that feels like a protest? Jakarta delivers.

City Host
Andre Edfan
Designer/Founder
Jakarta, Indonesia
Andre Edfan is an Indonesian designer and the founder of Yord, a brand-building company. During an intern interview, someone once asked, “What’s your studio’s role in the industry?” The question caught him off guard.
We’re not the craftiest nor the most resourceful, but we have one thing that defines us—an insatiable passion for learning and teaching. This is why we relentlessly run initiatives around design education while taking on client work to keep the lights on.
