Faisal Azad

Hey, I’m Sal! I’m a paper toy fanatic and a graphic designer living right here in Bandung, Indonesia. For over ten years now, I’ve been totally hooked on making paper toys – everything from crazy monsters to cool robots and even some classic Indonesian characters.

What I really dig is figuring out how to make paper toys that are both a blast and a bit of a brain teaser to put together. And coming up with new designs? Totally my jam!

I also share my paper toy templates online for free so anyone, anywhere can have some fun with ’em. I’ve even shown my stuff at exhibitions and run some workshops, plus I’ve teamed up with other designers from all over the globe. Seriously, I’m super passionate about paper toys and always on the lookout for new ways to make and share them with the world.

Besides my paper toy obsession, I also work as a graphic designer at a small company here in Bandung. It’s awesome being able to use my design skills to make paper toys that not only look cool but are also fun to play with.

I’m always up for new challenges and chances to learn and grow. I’m really excited to see what’s next for me in the world of paper toys and graphic design!
