Tell us what you are doing at Quipper!
I’m a product designer in Quipper. I have to make sure that Quipper’s product is easy to use and user friendly. Becoming a Product Designer at Quipper isn’t only about designing the product itself. It’s also my responsibility to find the sweet spot between User, Technology, and Business
What is your biggest challenge as a Product Designer in Quipper? Please describe!
Since Edutech is quite new in Indonesia, hence there aren’t too many patterns for UX design best practices. As a Product Designer, I need to dive even more to derive insights from our users which are students from G9-G12, and define the best UX pattern for our learning management systems.
As a Product Designer, do you have any tips and recommendations for people out there who might be interested in Product Designer?
It’s a new challenge, as a Product Designer in Quipper, we do not only need to understand a proper UX pattern and guidelines but also need to break the pattern itself and make a new one. Following the latest design trend and technology is also required as a Product Designer in Quipper. The possibilities of scaling the product are still very extensive.
What are you doing to have fun outside of your job? Please tell us!
I make Youtube videos about Mountain Bike related. Currently have 60K plus subscribers. Mountain biking is very good for stress release and keeps your stamina in the right position so you don’t get tired easily.
What is the most memorable moment that you have at Quipper?
Become one of the Quipper MVPs in 2018. I think it wasn’t the most memorable moment in Quipper, but the most memorable moment in my entire life.
What is your bucket list/goals for the next 5 years?
Before this `thing` comes in 2020, I was thinking of building my product related to mountain biking. It can be apparel, accessories, etc. But everything changed. I need to rethink this option.
Tell us what makes you passionate about work?
People who work in Quipper are very helpful and supportive. The communication between me and my direct manager is also very well. As I mentioned in a previous question, working as a product designer in Quipper opens new opportunities so I’m not only working but learning at the same time. The impact that Quipper provides also become one of the most important things to make me passionate about what I’m doing.
