Available to hire
Hi there! I’m Charensia, a Melbourne-based architect and graphic designer with a passion for blending architectural thinking with visual storytelling. I studied at the University of Melbourne, contributed to projects across residential, commercial and hospitality sectors with HASSELL and other studios, and run my own design brand, customadeby.ch. I enjoy turning complex ideas into clear, tangible designs and visuals, while collaborating with diverse teams.
Beyond practice, I mentor students, craft content for my brand, and continuously explore how design can improve education, communities, and user experience. I’m fluent in English and Bahasa Indonesia and love opportunities that mix education, creative industries, and community impact.
