RECYCLING ARTIST & SUSTAINABLE FASHION RESEARCHER
INTAN ANGGITA PRATIWIE, 37
BANDUNG, INDONESIA
Limitless, resilient, and an interdisciplinary artist, Intan has been creating fashion things out of recycled materials since 2004 on her campus. In 2012, she began her recycling artist career by running a fashion brand that fuses denim with ikat, an Eastern Indonesian weaving technique. She always tries to be sincere, genuine and knows her value because she sometimes struggles with a fear of missing out and forgets to feel happy. Right now, she’s working on Setali Indonesia, a social enterprise that is gaining awareness of sustainable fashion. In the future, she aspires to expand Indonesia's sustainable fashion industry and help disadvantaged people in Eastern Indonesia prosper.
Fun Fact
She really likes Hayao Miyazaki, the creator of Studio Ghibli. For her, Studio Ghibli inspires adults to be more playful.

SUSTAINBABES
VALERIE KRASNADEWI S.T, 32
JAKARTA, INDONESIA
Creative, conscious, and consistent, Valerie’s primary motivation for starting Sustainbabes is to help create impactful content that could raise awareness about #ZeroWasteLifestyle. As a Sustainbabes founder, social influencer, and women entrepreneur, it’s really hard to balance her social movement and personal life. That’s why she works hard to ask people for help to spread the movement wider. Right now, she actively supports a lot of environmental campaigns as a volunteer and speaker, such as Clean Up Bali with Sungai Watch and Earth Day Festival. Her dream is to develop and lead her social movement bigger so she can create more impactful content about sustainability and leave a positive legacy.
Fun Fact
Many don’t know that Valerie was a talented high-jump athlete.
