Khalisha Tambunan is a designer and art director based in Jakarta, working globally. She graduated from the Creative Computing Institute (UAL), where early exposure to generative AI shaped her view that authorship is defined by the ability to direct, edit, and construct meaningful narratives.

Her practice sits at the intersection of brand systems, cultural intelligence, and AI-integrated production, resulting in work that is layered, referential, and emotionally precise, shaped by signals and cross-industry influences. She collaborates with founders, creative directors, and teams as vision begins to scale, translating creative direction into structured systems across brand, campaigns, content, and digital touchpoints.

Alongside her design practice, Khalisha has been involved in underground music and internet communities since her teens, emerging from Jakarta’s early SoundCloud-era scenes through DJing, design, and art direction. Her involvement later extended to London through work with Eastern Margins, alongside collaborations and appearances with communities and platforms including NTS Radio, The Cause, Genesys, and Hypoxia. This ongoing proximity to music culture continues to inform her sensitivity to atmosphere, narrative, and subcultural image-making.

Her clients and collaborators include MØRNING, Studio ChaChaanTeng, ISOLARII, Antikythera, Ben Ganz, terra.in, Holsales, Jax Jones (via Universal Music Group), Billionaire Boys Club, and Carhartt WIP, with work spanning projects for Google, Uniqlo, and ASICS via agency collaborations. She previously served as Art Director for Eastern Margins and worked as a product designer at Marine Snow, where her systems-led approach to creative work began to take shape.

Alongside client work, she speaks and exhibits, with recent appearances at Bandung Design Biennale and shows at Brain Dead Studios, alongside participation in book fairs and cultural programmes across East and Southeast Asia, including the Shanghai Book Fair.
