New York-based creative marketing specialist with 6+ years in the music biz, specializing in storytelling-driven campaigns and music market localization in SEA—a powerful, often overlooked region with major industry trigger cities. The force behind launching, shaping, and localizing a K-pop leading company in Indonesia, crafting cultural bridges, and locking in game-changing collabs across Asia.

Social Media Creative Direction & Mgmt


SM Entertainment was the pioneer of K-pop, one of the biggest entertainment labels in Asia. Expanding this legacy, SM Entertainment Indonesia was created to connect with the country’s passionate fanbase—and that’s where my journey began.

For 4.5 years, I built @smtown_idn’s digital presence from scratch, crafting a strategy that resonated deeply with the local audience through visual storytelling, cultural nuance, and interactive engagement, blending data-driven insights with an authentic humane understanding.

We didn’t just localize content—we made it feel like home for the K-pop community. We familiarized SM Artists with general audiences and closed the existing communication gap. In 1.5 years, we hit 1 million followers from zero, with an engagement rate surpassing SMTOWN’s global account.

Content Production


 Initiated AweSM Corner, a localized content series designed for SM artists promoting in Indonesia. More than just an interview segment, it became a powerful campaign tool for release strategies, offering fans exclusive, culturally relevant content.

I managed the entire production process—from ideation, scriptwriting, and directing to videography, editing, and motion graphics—ensuring that each episode felt fresh, engaging, and tailored to the Indonesian audience.


<SUPER JUNIOR Chooses Their Indonesian Names - AweSM Corner>

Led a fan-driven digital campaign for Super Show 8 in Jakarta (2019), using #NamainSUPERJUNIOR on Twitter and Instagram to engage tens of thousands of fans. The campaign invited fans to suggest Indonesian names for the members, and the chosen names were revealed in this special AweSM Corner segment, filmed backstage. SUPER JUNIOR picked their names live, creating a fun, interactive moment between the group and their Indonesian fans.

<WayV’s Coffee Shop - AweSM Corner>

Building on the success of the SUPER JUNIOR campaign, I replicated a similar activation for WayV's visit to Jakarta in 2022. We created a Chinese-Indonesian style Warung (stall) with localized elements and role play, where the WayV members acted as the stall owners. The unique concept was well-received regionally (gaining engagements from fans in neighboring countries), becoming one of the most viewed episodes of AweSM Corner.

<SUPER JUNIOR-D&E - Flirting in Indonesian 101>

I took the typical flirting catchphrases to the next level by having SUPER JUNIOR-D&E learn and teach the art of crafting flirty phrases in Indonesian. Instead of just reading scripted lines, the members got hands-on with creating their own flirty words. We added a playful twist by incorporating the tacky style of provincial truck bumper stickers commonly seen in Indonesia, making the segment both humorous and very localized.

Artist Branding Consultancy

 


During my two-semester internship at TMWRK Management (under AEG Presents) in NYC, I worked on creative rebranding projects for artists on the roster, helping them recalibrate their visual identity, storytelling, and audience perception.


I developed a custom branding formula, blending strategic insight with artistic authenticity, guiding artists in defining their core DNA—from their sonic and visual identity to their social media presence.

Graphic Design


Designing for music and events branding feels to me is about capturing a sound, a moment, or an energy and translating it into something visual. Whether it’s logos, admats, or promotional assets, I focus on creating designs that don’t just look good but feel right, making sure they tell a story and connect with the audience in a meaningful way.

2025 Memorabilia Berdisco Vol. 1

Venue:
The Brooklyn Monarch
Meadow St
Brooklyn, New York

My roommate Yealinzka and I just pulled off Memorabilia Berdisco, a new project I’m co-creating with @memorabiliatour and @disc0nesia to bring back Indonesia’s golden era of funk, disco, pop, and psychedelia. 

Our first night at Brooklyn Monarch on August 10th was a hit with 200 people showing up to eat, play, dance, and groove. We had Chandni Servia (NYC), Titto (Boston), Jimmy Lim (Boston), and Disconesia (DC) spinning everything from disco/funk, R&B, house, dangdut, to experimental sounds (all Indonesian talents based in the NE). And because you can’t call it an Indonesian celebration without them, we went all in on the games: tug of war, krupuk eating, sack races. Even people who’d never seen a krupuk in their lives were suddenly locking into the game like their life depended on it.

With limited representation of Indonesian culture in the U.S., we wanted to bring its pop culture, especially music and entertainment, into the spotlight. Indonesians in NYC often live in separate circles, and we wanted to crack that open and build an inclusive space where everybody: students, families, professionals, artists, archivists, random curious friends with different interests and backgrounds, could actually collide. Any bigger representation has to start with a more connected Indonesian diaspora in the city. 




2024 Memorabilia

Venue:
Two Brothers Fish & Chips - Lucky’s Jamaican and Caribbean Food 
897 Broadway
Brooklyn, New York

Took a personal project to the next level, teaming up with my roommate to turn a Caribbean restaurant across our place in Bushwick into a living memorabilia—an exhibition of our lives in retrospect, complete with miniature recreations of our bedrooms as the centerpiece.

Wrapped it up with an Indonesian disco karaoke night, transforming the space from a nostalgia-filled gallery into a full-blown dance floor.

We did a whole Instagram page and proper publications and branding for this event. Check it out here.





2023 Iftar Jazz NYC


Venue:
The Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia
E 68th St
New York, New York


Ramadan has become an integral aspect of Indonesian culture, celebrated with fervor and zeal throughout the nation regardless of culture and beliefs.

I decided to host this special event, bringing back the tradition of "Ngabuburit" to New York City as people gather before breaking fast to enjoy a delightful jazz quartet performance showcasing NY-based Indonesian jazz talents, accompanied by enticing moving visual arts. Attended by more than 50 people, tickets sold out in a day.





2023 SM Entertainment Indonesia 4th Anniversary


Venue:
KWANGYA JAKARTA (SMTOWN Indonesia Merch Flagship)
Lotte Shopping Mall,
South Jakarta,
Indonesia

Led the 4th-anniversary online/offline campaign for SM Entertainment Indonesia, coordinating a multi-faceted celebration that united fans, artists, and influencers. The campaign’s impact included:


345 singing cover online submissions
221 dance cover online submissions
3,213 event raffle sign-ups
22,000 voluntary responses for market research
A flagship store opening attended by over 15 key opinion leaders, including top-tier Indonesian celebrities, artists, and influencers






2017 Korean Culture Day

Venue:
Balairung Universitas Indonesia,
Depok,
West Java,
Indonesia


Led the creative direction and branding for Korean Culture Day (KCD) Indonesia, a festival that draws 5,000+ visitors annually, growing each year to become the largest non-concert Korea-focused festival in Indonesia by 2017.

For its 9th edition, I rebranded the festival with a more urban, creative, and experiential concept—"Sunsational Getaway"—a celebration of Jeju Island’s tourism and its summer charm. Hot, and fresh.

With cohesive visual storytelling, elevated branding, and interactive on-site experiences, The 9th KCD became an immersive escape—transporting visitors into the vibrant essence of a Korean summer.
