OESEF IS JAKARTA-BORN, LOS ANGELES-BASED, CURRENTLY PUSHING PIXELS AT PLUCKY, LEARNING HOW TO TATTOO, AND ALWAYS LOOKING TO DIG INTO SOME SICK PART-TIME FREELANCE OPPORTUNITIES.

I live my life in tempered chaos. I chase squirrels, imitate noises, and cried watching Paddington 2. If I encounter a random path on a walk, I can't resist the urge to check it out, whether it leads to a secret garden or an alley where restaurants throw out their trash. I want to break convention and wander off the paved road to find new intersections in our world. I can’t help but feel strongly, speak loudly, and believe in the merit of otherwise pointless things. I am both impulsive and pragmatic, whimsical and honest. I seek to give small things the chance to become something more, and to fight for a cause. As an illustrator and motion designer, I want to tell human stories that get forgotten or left behind, give a voice to the underrepresented, and to create genuine things.

In my free time I like to watch film analysis on movies I’ll never watch, climb fake rocks indoors, put a control ward in tri-bush after every back, and try out different instant noodle brands.

Let’s connect and create something cool together >:^D
