Spatial practice · Field observation · Prototype logic

2026

Much of my earlier visual and design material was lost after Typhoon Krathon in 2024. I am rebuilding this portfolio not as a catalogue of past clients or awards, but as a research-oriented archive of methods, observations, prototypes, and spatial questions.

What I include here are the practices that shaped my current research direction: reading space, observing movement, documenting care, and designing tools for situations where access exists but dignity is still at risk.

My professional background spans spatial design, film production, brand strategy, service experience, and cross-functional project coordination. A full professional CV is available upon request for formal applications.

Current Prototype

2025

HCI · Health

Before Five Minutes

A browser-based research prototype for reducing the cognitive cost of medical appointments. It tests how low-threshold interaction can help people prepare, state, and preserve what matters under time pressure.

2025–26

IoT · UX

IoT & UI/UX Design Program

Ongoing technical training in prototyping, sensor integration, and care-oriented interface design. This work supports the vocabulary needed to collaborate on situated urban and care-service prototypes.

In progress

Methods in Reconstruction

Spatial Practice

Reading built assumptions

I approach space as a sequence of decisions about movement, attention, care, and belonging. Architectural training and production design practice shaped how I read thresholds, circulation, waiting, visibility, and the small negotiations people make with built environments.

Narrative Fieldwork

Observation before conclusion

Screenwriting trained me to stay with a situation until its real question became visible: daily routines, gestures, silences, spatial habits, and the gap between what people say they do and what their environments allow them to do.

Production Design as Spatial Research

Inner life through environment

Production design taught me to translate inner life into spatial form: what a person keeps close, what they avoid, how a room remembers power, fatigue, care, or shame. This practice now informs how I study dignity barriers in everyday environments.

Accompaniment Work

Methodological ground

My accompaniment work with older adults and patients is not presented as a finished project, but as the methodological ground of my current research. It taught me that many barriers are not named as barriers; they appear as hesitation, delay, route changes, dependence, embarrassment, or the decision not to go out at all.
