Design systems and product UI that your team can actually use.
I'm Dhika — a UI designer and design-system architect with 5+ years building scalable Figma systems, dashboards, and SaaS products. Currently leading design systems at IxDF.
Who I am.
I'm a UI designer and design-system architect based in Purwokerto, Indonesia. I work across design systems, product UI, and accessibility — using AI tools like Claude Code to move faster without cutting corners.
Currently, I lead design systems at the Interaction Design Foundation, where I manage thousands of variables, tokens, and components across multiple device contexts. Outside of IxDF, I take on freelance projects for founders and teams building serious products.
Why work with me.
Systems first
I don't design screens in isolation. Every UI decision connects back to tokens, components, and documentation your team can maintain without me.
AI-enhanced, not AI-replaced
I use Claude Code, Cursor, and Lovable as part of my workflow — not as shortcuts, but as force multipliers. Design-to-code handoffs are cleaner and faster than traditional workflows.
One project at a time
I take on limited projects so I can give full attention to yours. You get consistent access, fast turnarounds, and a designer who's actually thinking about your product.
What I do.
I only offer what I'm genuinely good at.

Figma-based systems with documented components, tokens, variables, and handoff-ready specs

What clients say.
“Working with Dhika was amazing. He's extremely fast, responsive, and communicative. There were certain areas in the project where I wasn't sure what direction to take, and he used his best judgement based on the context to deliver a great final design system my team could use.”

“He single-handedly built our design system from scratch, taught my team Figma basics, defined our visual/UI identity, and built out a full prototype of our mobile banking and internet banking products. Dhika is reliable, detail-oriented, and very easy to work with.”
