Meet Juliana Ng of I Am Starry

Fusing vintage silhouettes yet accessible wear, A Jakarta based Fashion Designer Juliana Ng was born and raised in Medan. She pursued her Fashion Design degree in Singapore and, upon graduating, started her own brands, Lickstudio in 2016 and Starry in 2018, both based in Jakarta. She has been highly fascinated with history through which she has gained many inspirations in addition to the connections she obtains from her surroundings, be it with people and nature.  

To constantly spread kindness to everyone, and striving to do the best for their children are some fundamental traits which Juliana aspires to have from her parents, however she firstly explore the world of art and fashion solely by herself. Juliana began to realize of how much opportunity that she could grab when she moved out from her hometown, Medan as she described the locals as “quite in their own world”. She relentlessly opens her eyes as the universe gives her possibilities to create.

It is Juliana’s wish to create clothing that could bring immeasurable joy to people who wears them and somehow by creating them, could be the tool for her to share her love of art to others. Juliana also produces Beaded Bag for both Lickstudio and Starry.

The revelation of beaded bags started during her visit to a Hong Kong local market where various beaded keychains and dolls were sold. An idea then sparked to modify the use of beading to create something functional that could be used everyday. She started brainstorming and managed to design bags, belt and crop tops made entirely out of beads as part of a Lickstudio collection. As for Starry, she wanted to offer different characteristics while still retaining the same beading technique so she experimented with different materials such as wood. Undeniably, beaded bags have become staple pieces in Juliana's collection.

At the present time, Juliana is currently handling the production of Starry which has that “retrospective” and timeless touch on each of the pieces and focused on creating ready to wear and beaded bags. She is also partially teaching Fashion Design in Raffles Design Institute.

“I hope people can appreciate small brands. For the quality, time and most importantly ideas we’ve spent to create every single garments. Moreover, get educated! Education is Important!” –Juliana Ng of Starry

Meet Raja Nisrina of Fleur by Raja

Born and raised in Jakarta, Raja Nisrina Jasmine is a self-taught baker and the founder of Fleur by Raja. She graduated from Economics study in University of Indonesia, later figured out her interest in baking grows into real passion. From then on, she knew that she wanted to become a baker. She began to dived into the world of baking and patisserie since she was 11 years old by learning through the recipe books and Youtube videos.

At a very early age, Nisrina firstly commenced Fleur by Raja by baking and selling cupcakes to her friends and family as well decorating cakes with fondant for children. Nisrina strives to distinguish Fleur by Raja through creative design, drawing inspiration from various sources, most recently from the work of Les Fauves, a group of 20th century artists known for their fierce brushwork and strong color combinations. The pleasant ride of colors and mood of Henri Matisse paintings are the substantial source of Nisrina’s current inspirations. Nisrina operates Fleur By Raja, bakes both cakes and cookies and assists her clients independently.

Inspired by her own close-knitted family, Nisrina envision Fleur by Raja to go #BeyondBirthdays and have her creations become something that could bring together family and friends, whether it’s a box of cookies to share or a five-tiered wedding cake. Fleur by Raja only uses the finest and utmost quality ingredients as well as the decorations. It is essential that the creation is not only subtle on the appearance, but also delightfully tasteful.

Apart from her career, Nisrina does boot camp and yoga regularly. The genuine support from her family and the great bond she has with her family means a lot to Nisrina, as she spent most of her leisure time and every activity together with her family. Her mother also inspired her to go beyond and bold, helped her to decide most decision in her life, even to make a smallest decision such as flavor and decoration to her cake creation, as Nisrina described her mother as a tough and honest critic.

Putting her client needs and maximizing the client experience have become very important work ethics to her. Nisrina hopes that one day fleur by Raja could be able to change the perspective of the society about cake, that could be seen more as a statement piece, artwork and an edible sculpture.

Through Fleur by Raja’s creation, Nisrina aspire to transmit a message to the world that what is perceived as odd or strange can also be beautiful. Nisrina believes that beauty is present in everyone and everything, regardless of society’s narrow standards of what is beautiful.

“Embrace your eccentricities and love them in others as well. Moreover, watch as your life opens up all of it’s possibilities before you.” –Raja Nisrina Jasmine of Fleur by Raja.

Explorative and Sculptural would be her significant style that could differentiate her with other florists, also to create out of this world aesthetic that are often seen from her works. it’s an everyday challenge to always give something different, but these challenges are what keeps her going because she believe that one day people will come to appreciate unique floral arrangements as an art piece for everyone and not just some pretty and girly flower arrangements that can only be enjoyed by the ladies, most importantly to always maintain the exclusivity for each of her clients who trusts her works.

Perseverance, patience, and prayer are the three things that Zefanya always try to remind herself on a daily basis. She believes if you are able to combine passion with those three things, you can be anything you want.

“Be like flowers, it reflects on how everybody must have start from somewhere and we all grow out from nothing, and if something doesn’t go the way you wanted. Then just do it again, re-bloom.” –Zefanya Sahusilawane, Fjori Marri

She is currently working in Ganara Art as a pottery teacher. On her perspective, clay is the perfect medium to express herself because working with clay demands the handmade and touch is most important aspect for her practice.

She also gives herself a work at Ceramica Studio, a handcrafted ceramic studio established in 2016, focused on tableware and homeware ceramics product. Their product uses natural and modern color. The color represents young people with a taste of sharp things, particular about function and design, also the people who aim comfort in their daily life.

Alongside with her friend Denissa, together they fuse both crochet and pottery into a single object. An interior designer in the making, Denissa Darmawan majored in interior design at Bandung Institute of Technology in 2016, she is now working as junior designer in small interior consultant in Jakarta. She was first introduced into the soothing world of crochet by seeing her mother crocheted when Denissa was still in high school. She then began to explore and self taught herself through stitches and yarns with the help of her mother. Crochet is the escape of her daily routine since high school. Whenever she feels overwhelmed in negative energy, balls of yarn, hooks, and stitched are her personal remedy.

Apart from their working life. Denissa has a strong admiration for Frida Kahlo and Van Gogh’s dedication to their works and for their prodigious ability to be very connected to their emotional parts as well as Gary Lightbody, a vocalist and songwriter from Snow Patrol. Denissa admires him on how is able to see things and translate them into such poetic photographs and writings.

On the other hand, Amalia had experience such unforgettable intern with pak Haryo from Keramik Puspa Lima. he inspired her on how to trust herself in the process of making art. She learned how to just fearlessly do it and not be afraid of creating something. Amalia also believes in the power of accepting your failure and just try again, it constantly keep her to move forward.

“pursue what you are truly passionate with and no matter what your interests are, they are valid. Do not be afraid to be different and to stand out. I may not have enough spotlight, as I still am trying to figure out which path should I set. But I do wish them to see that point. Just start and take your time to explore, try to absorb anything that you encounter. Cause what can really inspire you, might be something that is already in front you and most importantly I wish I could tell everyone that they have so much more potential as a human being.”

Meet Putri Soediono of Pubumesu

A fascination in the arts has always been a part of Putri Soediono’s DNA. Infact, when she was younger, she always wanted to be an Opera singer.

It wasn’t until she experienced working at esteemed houses such as Vivienne Westwood and Linda Farrow which her curiosity into the global world of fashion transpired.

She graduated with a Degree in Fashion Accessories at London Cordwainer and while studying and experiencing the UK, she felt a deep need to share her own personal story with the world through the lens of fashion. She wanted start a brand that showed fashion could be anything from batik passed down from her Grandmother to a vintage Hermes bag; and with that ethos in mind she successfully launched Pubumésu in 2011.

Putri had an eccentric Javanese upbringing, with a deep rooted and rich cultural history. She is equally inspired by cultural history as a whole, as she understands the depth that culture plays on evolution of trends. She embodies this in her pieces and she works with craftsmen and women adept in a variety of artistic disciplines, culminating in years of practice and skill passed down from countless generations.  

Her unique pieces show stories of Indonesian folklore, to the smells and and colours of the bustling markets in this corner of the world, all of which are beautifully translated into timeless and eclectic pieces that someone will love forever.

Meet Nesya Jessiko and Shelvin Prasetio of The Pot Cartel

The Pot Cartel is one-off handmade ceramic ware based in Jakarta founded by bestfriends Nesya Jessiko and Shelvin Prasetio. Who both shares the same love of craft and world of pottery. more than merely a homeware, both Nesya and Shelvin created beautiful objects that enhance the spaces that we live in. A slate that doesn’t function just a slate. Every piece is a multi-function artware.

Their technique is much more in hand-building and less of a wheel-thrown. Hence the rough edges, uneven lines, and sometimes raw texture. These add depth and aesthetic to the pieces. We can feel the hand-work in every piece of Pot Cartel.

Their collection are something they always envisioned in their minds and put into reality. With a background of Fashion Design study and graduated from Raffles Design Institute in Singapore, Shelvin also has her own bridal fashion label as well running her Hotpot restaurant in one of Jakarta’s prestigious area, on the other hand Nesya graduated from Raffles Design Institute in Singapore majored in Visual Communication, later worked as an inhouse graphic designer in Fairmont Singapore and took a summer course of Photography in Speos Paris, France. Together they evolved The Pot Cartel pieces into a recognisable collection of unique shapes and all things artisanal.

Apart from their lives as a potter. Nesya enjoys to read, old movies and travel. Both Nesya and Shelvin takes their inspirations from anything and anyone that came across them, as each individuals has their own significant impression. Shelvin also admires Salvador Dali, for he is a true surrealist artist, where his inspirations came from the unconscious mind.

To create something that never existed before. Something new, a fresh breath in the air. Pot Cartel aims to create unique pieces, with shapes and texture that they always envisioned in the setting. A slate that doesnt function just as a slate but rather multifunctional. As a plate, jewelry tray, candle holder, and many things up to imagination.

Meet Lylian Corneling of Lilco Flowers

The founder of Lilco Flowers, Lylian Corneling was born and raised in Jakarta. She studied Architect at University of Pelita Harapan as she has always been amazed by the idea and the process of designing remarkable sculptures and installations. She started learning and exploring the art of paper flowers since 2017, when her friend asked her to decorated a bridal shower, She challenged herself on this project to create paper flowers instead of wasting real ones. She then discovered the joy of making paper flowers and her true passion in art and craftsmanship, moreover making paper flowers takes her to a glimpse of her childhood where she got to play with papers and scissor as well as playing with soil freely.

Lilco Flowers focused on making paper flowers as an art that look exactly to its original state. Lylian thrives to always make the best of it. Their product uses high quality papers and a little of imagination to add more appealing color to it. This piece of art is applicable to enhance the mood and set a perfect ambiance.

with her brother Rheza, He went to Philippines for Aviation Course and now he works in aviation industry. It is a pleasure for Rheza to pour his ideas into helping his sister a little on making some flowers. This kind of activity is helping him to become more active on ground level as he is always passionate with craftsmanship and aesthetic objects.

Together they aim to introduce the art of paper flowers and how to make them. The outcome can be therapeutic or maybe a new hobby. Perseverance and eagerness are two very important keys to Lylian’s work ethics as for some people think that it is simple to make a tiny sized petal flower but it actually need perseverance in order to endure the tiredness in making those tiny sized petals in large quantities. Lylian always try to do something in her own particular way as to have real excitement in what she does is a necessity, she is very fond of learning new things.

Lylian honestly believe that although the creative industry in Indonesia is already big but somehow not much of Indonesians knows how to value the idea that every pieces of art comes from different organic ideas, the amount of time to create them as for each art has each own difficulties, it speaks something, and it has different values.

making paper flowers has become a stress therapy for Lylian, as for the outcome of it are very satisfying for her. She strongly suggested for someone who are still figuring out their hobby, then they should try that activity.
