I majored in advertising in Thailand when I was an undergraduate. After graduating, I worked for an advertising agency and began to have a passion for creating a better world with the power of design. In order to make it come true, I decided to continue my study at KMD.
At KMD, I participated in the Global Education project and also had the opportunity to participate in a collaboration program between KMD and Stanford University. I learned and challenged a lot through a project that combines design, technology and education, and gained valuable experience.
After finishing my PhD in 2020, I am currently working at the LINE Advertising Global Business Planning team of LINE Corporation in Japan. I am in charge of product planning and designing educational programs for sales. I applied the experience gained at KMD in the business world on how to create a program to increase engagement of online workshops in the pandemic era. Also, when planning a product, the project management skills I learned at KMD are also very useful for my work. The challenges during life in KMD becomes my power and I would like to continue to challenge new things.
