Muhamad Anas

Visual Communication Designer

Yogyakarta, Indonesia

Available for work

Overview

Hello, I'm Anas — a fresh graduate of Desain Komunikasi Visual (DKV), Institut Seni Indonesia (ISI) Yogyakarta with strong foundation in brand identity, editorial design, and digital illustration. I've worked across studio internships, freelance commissions, and student-led publication projects — combining cultural literacy with hands-on craft to deliver visual systems that resonate.

Right now I'm exploring opportunities in brand design, art direction, and creative production — especially di studio kreatif Indonesia, agensi advertising, atau startup yang ngebangun visual identity dari nol. Saya juga aktif eksperimen dengan 3D motion, generative design, dan side project illustration untuk publikasi independent.
