About
Carissa is a design graduate based in Singapore, with roots in Indonesia, who explores communication through design and technology.
She is driven by a genuine curiosity for how things work—whether pulling apart a piece of technology to understand what is on the inside or figuring out why a design decision feels right or wrong—finding joy in how things go "beep boop".
This curiosity extends into everything she makes, from hardware prototypes and live visuals to writing about design and culture.
