Crafting Unique Solutions for Your Brand
M Rifki Arrosyidin is a passionate designer whose journey into the world of creativity began in the bustling streets of Jakarta, Indonesia. Born into a family of entrepreneurs, Rifki grew up surrounded by the vibrant energy of small businesses and local markets. As a child, he was fascinated by the colorful signs, hand-painted logos, and the way a simple design could draw crowds to a humble street stall. This early exposure planted the seeds of curiosity that would later blossom into a full-fledged career in design.
Rifki’s path to becoming a designer wasn’t a straight line. Initially, he pursued a degree in engineering, believing it to be a practical choice. However, during his university years, he found himself sketching logos and tinkering with layouts in his spare time, often neglecting his technical assignments. It was a pivotal moment when a friend, impressed by Rifki’s doodles, asked him to design a logo for a startup. The project ignited a spark—he spent sleepless nights refining every curve and color, and when the logo was unveiled, the client’s excitement mirrored his own. That experience convinced Rifki to switch gears. He taught himself graphic design through online courses, books, and endless experimentation, eventually dropping out of engineering to pursue his true calling.
Today, M Rifki Arrosyidin is a freelance designer specializing in logo creation, branding, and web design. His portfolio boasts a diverse range of projects: from sleek, modern logos for tech companies to playful, hand-drawn identities for artisanal brands. He’s worked with clients across the globe, helping startups establish their visual presence and established businesses refresh their image. Beyond logos, Rifki has a knack for designing intuitive, user-friendly websites that balance aesthetics with functionality. His favorite projects include a minimalist website for a Scandinavian furniture brand and a bold, colorful logo for a children’s toy company—each reflecting his versatility and attention to detail.
Rifki approaches his work with a blend of discipline and boundless enthusiasm. He believes that design is more than just art—it’s a storytelling tool that connects brands with their audiences. Every project begins with a deep dive into the client’s vision, values, and market. He sketches dozens of concepts by hand before moving to digital tools, ensuring that every idea is explored. Rifki is meticulous, often tweaking a design for hours to get the spacing or shade just right, but he’s also flexible, welcoming feedback and collaboration. To him, a successful design isn’t just visually stunning—it’s one that resonates emotionally and serves its purpose effectively.
What sets Rifki apart is his relentless curiosity and commitment to growth. He spends his free time studying design trends, experimenting with new software, and even dabbling in typography design. Outside of work, he’s an avid traveler, drawing inspiration from the cultures and landscapes he encounters. Whether he’s sipping coffee in a Moroccan café or hiking through Southeast Asian jungles, Rifki is always observing, sketching, and imagining how the world around him can fuel his next creation. For Rifki, design isn’t just a job—it’s a way of life, a passion that drives him to craft meaningful, lasting impressions for every client he serves.
A minimalist design with warm tones, this logo was crafted for a cozy coffee shop named "Bean Haven" located in a small coastal town. The client wanted a design that evoked the warmth of a morning brew and the simplicity of their artisanal approach. I chose a sleek, circular emblem featuring a stylized coffee bean cradled by steam lines, rendered in a palette of soft browns, creams, and a hint of orange. The typeface—a clean sans-serif with subtle curves—complemented the logo’s understated elegance. The result was a versatile mark that looked stunning on cups, signage, and packaging, instantly conveying the shop’s inviting atmosphere. This project taught me the power of restraint in design—how less can truly be more when every element is intentional.
This modern UI with a focus on UX was designed for a tech startup called "Nexlify," which offers a project management tool for remote teams. The goal was to create a website that felt cutting-edge yet approachable, with seamless navigation and a clean aesthetic. I opted for a monochromatic color scheme with pops of teal to highlight CTAs, paired with a bold, geometric typeface for headings and a lighter sans-serif for body text. The layout prioritized user flow: a sticky header for easy access, interactive demos on the homepage, and a modular grid for showcasing features. I spent extra time refining the mobile responsiveness, ensuring every button and menu worked flawlessly on smaller screens. The client praised the intuitive design, which boosted their user sign-ups significantly.
A full branding set—logo, colors, typography—this project was for "Thread & Loom," a boutique clothing store specializing in sustainable fashion. The brief called for an identity that felt earthy yet sophisticated, appealing to eco-conscious shoppers. The logo featured a delicate, hand-drawn loom intertwined with a thread spool, symbolizing craftsmanship and sustainability. I paired it with a muted palette of sage green, terracotta, and off-white, evoking nature’s tones. For typography, I selected a serif font with vintage flair for headers and a minimalist sans-serif for readability. The branding extended to business cards, hang tags, and a simple e-commerce site, creating a cohesive look that elevated the store’s presence. This project was a joy, blending my love for tactile design with a meaningful mission.
