Professional life

I’m in my final year of a Bachelor’s in Communication Design, under the School of Architecture and Design at KMUTT in Bangkok. Most of my recent work lives at the intersection of motion graphics, pixel art, and brand identity.

In 2024 I spent four months interning at Duststore / Iameverything.co as a graphic and motion designer — working on real campaigns for retail clients, learning how a small team ships fast.

Because I’m a polyglot — fluent in Korean, English, and Thai — I also pick up freelance interpreter gigs in my spare time. It pairs surprisingly well with design work; both are fundamentally about translating intent.

Pixel art

Mostly food, drinks, and tiny isometric scenes. I post the good ones to Instagram.

Motion graphics

I've shipped commercial work for Mega Bangna and friends — promotional spots, trailers, brand reels.

Brand & campaign

End-to-end product mockups, ad creative for Lazada / Shopee / Coupang, supporting motion graphics.

Game design

Coursework that turned into actual playable things. I'm into systems as much as visuals.

Personal life

When I’m not working, I keep it simple — movies, animations, video games. I also chase new hobbies; it’s how I avoid getting stale.

I love hanging out with friends doing things together, especially board games and tabletop. The shared-attention kind of fun is the kind I’m most after.

The other thing I do a lot of is mixing cocktails. It started as a curiosity and turned into a whole thing — I post the experiments on Instagram as @wheezy_thecounterboy.
