Perjalanan Karierku: Dari Arsitektur ke Dunia Kerja
Kalau ditanya, “Kenapa sih dulu ambil arsitektur?” Jawabannya simpel: gue suka desain, suka bikin sesuatu yang nyata, bukan cuma teori di atas kertas. Gue kuliah arsitektur dari 2017 sampai 2021. Dan sekarang, di 2025, gue udah masuk tahun ke-4 berkarier setelah lulus.
Waktu kuliah, gue bukan tipikal anak himpunan. Bukan karena anti-sosial, tapi menurut gue atmosfernya terlalu senioritas dan nggak nyambung sama tujuan pribadi gue. Gue lebih milih ikut workshop jurusan, atau ambil project-project kecil dari luar. Kadang dari rumah tinggal, kadang dari instansi—kebanyakan sih dari dosen yang percaya sama kemampuan gue.
Dan hasilnya? Habis buat biaya maket skripsi, dong. Circle of life anak arsitektur banget kan: cari project, dapat duit, duitnya balik lagi ke maket. Repeat until lulus ๐คฃ.
Nah, setelah lulus, dimulailah perjalanan karier gue. Dari interior, loncat ke telekomunikasi, balik lagi ke dunia 3D, sampai sekarang siap buka bab baru di luar negeri. Perjalanan ini penuh lika-liku, kadang bikin kaget, kadang bikin senyum-senyum sendiri.
Karena itu, gue pengen bikin seri cerita: Perjalanan Karier Gue. Biar bisa jadi pengingat buat diri sendiri, sekaligus mungkin bisa jadi insight buat lo yang lagi ngerintis karier.
So, let’s start from the very beginning—
Episode 1: Si Interior Designer Serba Bisa.

My Career Journey: From Architecture to the Working World
When people ask me, “Why did you choose architecture?” my answer is simple: I love design. I enjoy creating something tangible, not just theories on paper. I studied architecture from 2017 to 2021, and now in 2025, I’m entering my fourth year of professional work.
Back in college, I wasn’t the type to join student associations. Not because I was antisocial, but honestly, the seniority culture felt irrelevant to my personal goals. Instead, I preferred joining workshops or taking on small projects from outside. Sometimes residential, sometimes institutional—mostly referrals from professors who trusted my skills.
And the income? Gone instantly for making models and thesis materials. The circle of life of an architecture student: get projects, earn money, spend it all on models, repeat until graduation ๐คฃ.
After graduation, my career journey began. From interior design, leaping into telecommunications, circling back to 3D, and now preparing for a new chapter abroad. It’s been full of twists—sometimes overwhelming, sometimes amusing.
That’s why I decided to create this series: My Career Journey. As a reminder for myself, and maybe as an insight for anyone out there just starting their own path.
So let’s start from the very beginning—
