Raised between
worlds. Building
for the overlooked.
I'm Ihsan — an Indonesian-American at Montgomery College, building Atlasana while on track to transfer to the Robert H. Smith School of Business at UMD.
Before college, I spent a year in Istanbul studying Arabic morphology, Islamic jurisprudence, and earning a C1 certificate in Turkish through the Yunus Emre Institution. That year shaped the way I read people, read cities, and recognize what gets left out of the story — which is exactly where Atlasana starts.
