Upon returning to Indonesia in 2011, she worked as Music Director in Grace Church of Indonesia with a wide variety of responsibilities ranging from music ministry for liturgical purposes to children, youth, and adult choir and orchestras. From 2014-2019 she actively performed concerts around Indonesia with the piano trio she co-founded: Cascade Trio. Active in the musical theatre scene in Indonesia, Airin has produced Musikal Belakang Panggung in 2020 (an original musical) and The Last Five Years in 2021 (an off-Broadway musical).
