Who am I
I’m Joel Kentjanaputra, a Toronto-based Indonesian Product Designer. I'm drawn to how color, form, and interaction shape emotion. I design experiences that are thoughtful, human, and grounded in genuine understanding of user needs.

When I'm off the design clock, I’m probably sweating at dance practice, hopping between Toronto cafés, or tasting something new to add to my very serious Google list of “Culinary Adventures.”
I pull inspiration from the world around me, movement, flavors, spaces and bring those fresh perspectives into every project.
