About Me

I was born in Thailand, but was educated in America. I attended Miami Dade College, graduating with highest honors in Graphic and Commercial art as a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Society. Thereafter, I was accepted to the University of Miami BFA program in Graphic/Multimedia, as a recipient of the US Presidential Scholarship Program, and finished my undergraduate education in only 3 years.

After graduation, I worked full time for a company in the travel industry for 4 years, starting as Graphic Designer and taking on increasingly senior positions, most recently as Manager of Creative Services and IT. I am currently pursuing my Master’s Degree in Web Design and Online Communication program at University of Florida.

My work has been exhibited in the Lowe Art Museum, Cas Gallery and the UM Print Making student show. Most of my works employ dark humor and combine Surrealism, Pop Art and a cartoonish style. They portray biting commentary on current society.

While I was at the University of Miami, I also was a photographer for the UM Athletic Department. Going out to take pictures of the football team playing on game day is what I enjoyed the most.

Traveling across the world since a young age, I learned to love new cultures and challenges in life. I draw on past experiences and sight to create my art. Imagination is something that I have plenty of, and through my art I seek to create a unique perspective of the world!
