Hi, I'm Ariq Syahalam
|
Designing decisions, not just screens. I work across fintech, telecom, and AI products — turning tangled systems into interfaces people actually understand.
From national research to product dashboards.
I'm a Product Manager and UX Designer based in Jakarta, working at the intersection of fintech, telecom, and AI products. My background spans redesigning core dashboards, building design systems from scratch, and running usability-driven onboarding overhauls — most recently at Qita by BRI and Telkomsel.
Before moving deeper into product, I spent years as a UI/UX educator — training 1,000+ students, authoring two official curriculum ebooks, and running Training-of-Trainer programs for university faculty and vocational school teachers nationwide. I believe good design is also design that can be taught.
