hi, I’m dewi—a writer, editor, and creative based in Southeast Asia.

Over the past eight years, I’ve worn a lot of hats in the publishing world. I started as a travel writer at Lifestyle Asia, hopping around stunning spots like Komodo National Park, Luang Prabang, and Bawah Island. Later, I joined Time Out Singapore as Arts & Culture Editor, where I got to spotlight incredible artists who don’t always get the recognition they deserve. At The Smart Local, I worked as a Sub-Editor, helping junior writers find their voice and shaping content strategies that felt authentic.

I even had a brief detour into comms, working with sustainability and health tech start-ups—an experience that gave me fresh insights into industries shaping the future.

These days, I bring all these experiences together to write about the things I care about most: travel, arts, culture, and how we can do it all a little more sustainably.
