I designed a new product from the ground up with partners at Mello Innovations by creating My Makita Web App for Makita Thailand’s customers to register their products online.

As a brand designer at FireOneOne, I have the opportunity to work on branding and designing as well as facilitating design thinking workshop for business consult clients. The first project I was in charge was rebranding WECOSYSTEM, one of the FireOneOne's sister company. The purpose of the rebranding was to prepare for the brand's official launch as a new company at the end of the year (2017), with the official launch in 2018. I developed the logo, branding manual, and wrote the first draft of the company's mission statement with the guidance of the CEO. WECOSYSTEM is an "entrepreneurial cultural space" that aims to drive "change through entrepreneurship, innovation, and design. WECOSYSTEM is also educational space for entrepreneurs, students, and Bangkok's community. Located in the heart of Bangkok, it holds weekly events, with topics ranging from air pollution to quantum computer and accounting to ethical fashion. WECOSYSTEM also holds month-long courses on entrepreneurship, touching on topics like defining business big idea, creating your business' vision, and user experience. WECOSYSTEM also have plans to expand to short courses that will last one day or over a weekend on subjects such as user experience for designer and developers, how to create a great presentation, etc. FireOneOne's position as a digital consultant requires hands on research, and many were done through design thinking workshops. Working along side a senior designer, as a team, we designed activities that correlates to the topic of research that will answer initial questions we have about our client's project. During the workshop, each designer is assigned to a focus group and assist each group in brainstorming ideas as well as aiding them by asking the right questions.
