I am an illustrator and graphic designer based in Bangkok. I run a small letterpress studio where I create designs that convey soft and gentle feelings with a playful and lighthearted touch.

I believe that children are the embodiment of these qualities, so they are the main element in my illustrations. I hope that my work will remind viewers of their inner child and the importance of keeping their hearts and minds open to new experiences, just like children do.

When Life Gives You Lemons,

When life gives you lemons, share them to others, embrace them, peel them, or just keep the tradition of making lemonade if you will.

When Life Gives You Lemons,

When life gives Little Joy lemons, she always know what to do with them.
Little Joy is my aubergine character whose soul remains untainted and never knows what's right or wrong in the 'real' world. With such a mind, everything is possible in her reality.

Narak Bottle & Nipple Liquid Cleanser

Narak is a long-standing Thai brand that I've had the pleasure of working with on various illustration and graphic design projects. They've recently created a children's books to promote good hygiene, featuring two main characters: Noo Rain (elder brother) and Noo Rung. With the story in place, these characters were then utilized on product packaging and various marketing materials to create brand recognition among children and parents.

In this Liquid Cleanser packaging, the kids are cleaning the giant milk bottle for, maybe, an imaginative younger brother or sister. Without an infant character, the product is still recognized for newborns.

Porjai Baking Studio

Character design for a cozy homemade cake shop. The owner is also a mother to a 4-year-old girl whose BFF is a large teddy bear, thus she picked the two of them as the main characters, spending time together in the cafe/ baking studio. The drawing style and color used in this design has to be light, warm and comfy, in order to reflect the brand's name 'Porjai' which means 'pleasant'.

ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือมุดรั้ว

ก๋วยเตี๋ยวเรือมุดรั้ว is a boat noodle shop located in On-nut, Bangkok. Instead of a drawing of a soup noodle bowl with scrumptious toppings, the owner would love her son to be a brand ambassador, crawling under the leafy fence, and holding a chili in his hand to represent their hot and spicy dishes with fun and cuteness.

ศิลปินถ่ายทอดความอ่อนโยนและความเป็นเด็กผ่านลายเส้นเรียบง่ายแต่น่ารัก อบอวลด้วยความอบอุ่นและความเบิกบานใจ งานของศิลปินชวนให้เราย้อนกลับไปพบ “เด็กคนนั้น” ในตัวเองอีกครั้งอย่างอ่อนโยน : )
