Multidisciplinary Designer | Design Researcher
On Hiatus:Â Regen Districts
I'm a multidisciplinary designer who examines alternative methods of production and consumption. Fascinated by the idea of self-sufficiency and regenerative futures, my practice is grounded on circular design and biodesign principles with the endeavour to make sustainability appealing and accessible.
I have expertise in digital fabrication, where I explore the production technique with biodegradable materials from renewable resources like plants or food/agricultural waste to produce ecologically friendly and energy-efficient lifestyle products.
Â
My interests lie in the field of algaculture, mycelium-based composites, biomaterials, accessible design, distributed systems, public participation, future food, and renewable energy.

Awards | Exhibitions | Experience
+ Bangkok Design Week 2023 (Exhibition) - Eggsperiment
I was one of the participants in the WASTE IS MORE Exhibition - "Waste is a valuable resource" at Bangkok Design Week 2023. An exhibition displayed possibilities by MORE, a collaboration between the research team from PTT Innovation Institute and HG Next Co., Ltd., a designer, manufacturer, and furniture distributor committed to research, development, and design to be a complete solution for transforming waste into renewable resources.Since open data of biomaterials is still a relatively new concept in Thailand, it is a great opportunity to increase engagement of the international community by co-developing a project with Materiom through partnerships with local cafes/restaurants to create materials/objects with organic waste/resources produced within the selected district(s) in Bangkok. As biomaterials advocates, we believe that knowledge sharing/exchange is imperative. One of our main goals is to empower the community not only to work with sustainable materials but also connect locally and globally.
+ Connections Through Culture 2021 (Grant Programme) | British Council  - Regen Districts
