About

I’m Aldi Fajar, a brand and web designer from Bali. I design identities, magazines, menus and posters, and I build the websites I design.

Fifteen years, many industries, one thread: layout. A weekly poster for a nightclub, a monthly magazine for an interior studio, a logo for a design agency and five websites for a hospitality group all start the same way for me, with a grid, a hierarchy and the right type.

(01)Story

From a hand-lettered logo in 2011 to five live websites.

Starting out

I studied Visual Communication Design at ISI Bali and, in 2011, drew my first logo: a hand-lettered mark for Swich, a sandwich and juice bar in Bali. During college I laid out pages for Info Pedas, a magazine, as a freelancer. Then I joined Bali Plus magazine at PT Trijaya Dewata as a junior graphic designer (2012–2013).

Nightlife, every week

For Jenja, a club and bar at TS Suites in Seminyak, I designed a new event poster almost every week, plus billboards, VIP and member cards, coupons, drink menus and newsletters. I worked with the venue’s marketing team by email: brief, draft, revisions, print. New artists and themes each week, the same venue voice.

The long form

Mahallati Interior Design gave me editorial work at length: Inspiration Book, a monthly magazine (Vol. 001 to 009 and beyond, July 2015 to August 2016), identity work, business cards, a Christmas card and the website and, in 2021, the company profile and catalogue of projects.

Agency years

At Myooz (Muse), a design agency in Bali, I designed the agency’s own logo, a confident lowercase m. with a coral full stop that it still uses, and its first company profile. Agency projects included the GIFT brand guidelines, where I’m credited as Graphic Designer with Carla, and a hotel concept book. In the same years I designed the catalogue and company profile for The Factory Indonesia, a furniture maker.

Independent

Since 2021 I’ve worked independently. Albali Studio is my own studio for educational and spiritual media: websites, five Android apps and channels. Its Pejalan Ruhani app passed 10,000 downloads with a 4.8 rating on Google Play (October 2026).

I also make tools: O/Page and Get Started, both launched on Product Hunt, the Focus section library for Elementor on Gumroad, a small WordPress plugin, and Big Studio, my web-design studio for small businesses. Alongside them, client identities and websites such as CoachingWorked and Jaya Construction Bali, and cover art for my own music.

Now

Today I’m a freelance contractor on a monthly retainer for the Mason group in Bali. I designed and built the websites of Mason Adventures, Mason Elephant Park, Mason Chocolates, Shinto Spa and Mazzoni Pizza, and I make their posters, menus, magazine ads and promotions, and edit video. Their branding is not mine. In October 2026 I also completed a new website for Swich, fifteen years after its logo.

Next, I’m looking for a remote role, full-time or contract, with a team that values identity, editorial and web craft together.

(02)How I work

Four habits that show up in every project.

  1. 01

    Layout first

    Grid, hierarchy and type do most of the work, whether it’s a magazine spread, a menu or a homepage.

  2. 02

    Design it, then build it

    I build the websites I design, in WordPress, Elementor or plain HTML, so what was approved is what goes live.

  3. 03

    One system, every format

    Identity, print, web and social for the same brand, kept consistent. Mahallati and the Mason group are examples.

  4. 04

    Honest credits

    Every project says what I made, what I didn’t, and where imagery was AI-generated.
