Hi, I'm Makmun Arif (Ayib)
Graphic Designer & Illustrator. Founder of Revoltan Studios. Sleman, Yogyakarta, Indonesia (GMT+7). Working remotely worldwide.
I’m a versatile graphic designer and illustrator with 15+ years of experience delivering scalable vector illustrations and customizable design systems for B2B clients, NGOs, and global tech platforms.
I founded Revoltan Studios in 2007 as an independent studio where I personally lead end-to-end projects — from marketing infographics, event site maps, and public reform storyboards, to minimalist flat vector systems that help businesses build visually consistent brand communications.
What I do
Vector Illustration & Flat Design / Brand & Corporate Identity / Typography & Color Theory / Marketing Collateral & Infographics / Presentation & Document Systems / Digital Template & Mockup Creation / AI-assisted workflow for production, human taste as the quality bar.
