@simon.te

Simon Santiago Te is a visual artist, filmmaker, and creative strategist whose practice moves across disciplines—spanning film, spatial design, and brand systems. His work often explores themes of grief, memory, and the emotional weight of everyday structures, using material, image, and space to hold conversations that are often difficult to name.

Rooted in both personal experience and cultural inquiry, Simon’s approach is marked by a sensitivity to form and function. As a filmmaker, he has crafted intimate narratives that confront loss and belonging; as a visual artist, he builds objects and installations that invite presence and pause. As a strategist, he helps shape ideas into systems—translating abstract concepts into meaningful, grounded experiences.

Simon is the founder of MOLD, a circular design studio focused on material innovation, and CEO of Posthaus, a post-production company working with regional clients across Southeast Asia. He is also a represented director at FRGMNT, and continues to create work that sits at the intersection of emotion, craft, and clarity.
