Hi, I'm Haechal!

I'm a product designer and design engineer who builds the systems people rely on every day. Currently based in Jakarta, Indonesia.

I care about craft and how a product feels, but my recent work has centered on scale. At INA Digital, my team and I build IDDS, the design system behind Indonesia's government apps, and INAgov, one workspace for the country's civil servants. I also built an AI design agent that lets our designers start from everything the team already knows.

Before INA Digital, I designed finance apps at Jack and Transfez and was the founding designer at Banmo. I earned my B.Sc. in Computer Science from Brawijaya University, which is why I design in Figma and ship in code.

I design so people spend less time fighting their tools, and more time on the work that matters.

Right now, my wife and I live in Jakarta with our two cats, Cuko and Apis. When I'm not designing, I draw them and turn them into fighting-game sprites. Yes, they're the ones in the arcade on the homepage.

If you're designing for government, building a design system, or teaching AI to work the way your team does, I'd love to compare notes. Send me a message on LinkedIn.
