Iya Wijangco's Portrait

Simple & Functional

Hey there, I’m Iya! I'm dedicated to finding the right balance between design and engineering. I aim for the fusion of form, function, and aesthetic by implementing design systems, user-centered design, and user-testing.

With my background in engineering, I look for patterns and elegant solutions to problems. I prioritize clean and consistent design. The goal is to create something that works that is so simple, nothing can be taken away. And something that looks so easy, it feels effortless and delightful.

Aside from coding and obsessing about the details on products, I’m naturally curious about happiness and humanity.

Happy to chat if you want to create something better!


"Good design is as little design as possible."

Dieter Rams

Less is a bore?

When we want simple, we think of less. And when we think of having less, we could be left wanting. But simple doesn't have to mean boring. Simple can be fun!

We can put the fun in functional. Users are happiest and most satisfied when the product not only serves its purpose, but also exceeds their expectations.

After all, fun is just pleasure with surprises!
