I make things because I like understanding how they work.

01 — ABOUT
PERSONAL

TODO(siladityaa) — a couple of paragraphs in your own voice. What keeps you curious, what you collect, the tools you reach for when nobody is watching. Think of it as the paragraph you'd leave if the portfolio had a colophon.

03 — INFLUENCES

Twelve things I keep coming back to — one sentence on each.

  • 01BRAND

    Nothing

    Proves you can make hardware feel playful without sacrificing restraint — permission to ship joy.

  • 02STUDIO

    Teenage Engineering

    Every label, number, and unit suffix on the OP-1 is a love note to craft.

  • 03BRAND

    Polestar

    A color system so disciplined that the single accent colour carries the entire brand.

  • 04PERSON

    Dieter Rams

    The ten principles are load-bearing forty years on — a good product is honest, and I re-read them when I'm lost.

  • 05ARCHITECT

    Alvar Aalto

    Modernism that still feels warm — proof that minimal doesn't have to mean cold.

  • 06PERSON

    Charles & Ray Eames

    Playful rigour. They treated a chair and a film and a toy with the same curiosity.

  • 07PERSON

    Massimo Vignelli

    Unimark's NYC subway map reminds me that editing is the craft — what you leave out does the work.

  • 08PERSON

    Bruno Munari

    Design as a question, not an answer. Munari kept playing, and you can feel it in his output.

  • 09FILMMAKER

    Satyajit Ray

    Storytelling that earns every frame — a reminder that quietness is a design choice.

  • 10PERSON

    Dayanita Singh

    Her book-objects taught me that a portfolio is just an edited sequence with opinions.

  • 11MUSICIAN

    Kanye West

    Obsessive iteration in public. Every album is a different take on the same question.

  • 12MUSICIAN

    Daft Punk

    Two helmets and a drum machine — brand as a tight constraint that unlocks everything downstream.
