Learning and working in the world of architectural education has been Irma Desiyana's dream since studying at the University of Indonesia (UI) Architecture. His inspiration as an educator and researcher in the field of architecture was formed during his role as a teaching assistant and research assistant for 3 years at UI. He was also active in social activities from 2007 to 2011 as a barefoot architect.

He continued his education at the Masters level in Architectural and Urban Design at Chongqing University, China through the China-AUN Scholarship in 2011 – 2013. After returning from school, he became a lecturer at Pembangunan Jaya University. He is also active in one of the pilot projects of RPTRA (Child Friendly Open Public Space) in South Kembangan Jakarta starting from the survey process, communicating the needs and aspirations of residents to the community-based development process.

In 2016, he joined Multimedia Nusantara University to help prepare and develop the nascent Architectural Study Program that year. The motivation and dream of contributing to the world of architectural education starts from teaching, mentoring student programs and research at UMN. Prior to becoming the Chair of the Architecture Study Program in 2021, he had served as Secretary of the Study Program for 4 years.
