A Milestone at GEMASTIK XVIII

After months of competing and refining my craft, I am incredibly proud to share a defining moment in my career: securing 3rd Place in the UX Design Division at GEMASTIK XVIII 2025. Together with Team Lavien, we navigated through intense national selection stages to stand on the podium. This achievement is not just a win; it is a validation of our hard work, strategic thinking, and dedication to user-centered design.

This victory holds a deep personal significance. My journey into the world of UI/UX only began in earnest in January of this year. To transition from a beginner to a national champion in such a short span required relentless learning and curiosity. Standing here today proves that with ambition and the right focus, rapid growth is possible. It represents a commitment to not just learning the tools, but mastering the mindset of a designer.

No great product is built in isolation. This success belongs equally to my exceptional teammates, Gita Ristya and Hanif Afifudin. Our synergy allowed us to tackle complex problems with creative solutions. I also extend my deepest gratitude to our mentors Hari Prapcoyo, Ayu Candra Dewi, and Purwaji Santoso. Your unwavering support, critical feedback, and guidance were the catalysts that strengthened our work and pushed us beyond our limits.

I would also like to thank the Direktorat Pembelajaran dan Kemahasiswaan, Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi, Sains, dan Teknologi (Kemdiktisaintek), and Telkom University for organizing such a prestigious platform for innovation. This award is not the finish line, but a launchpad for more impact, continuous learning, and future innovations.
