UX community
Organize
The early UX rooms were about gathering practitioners and giving local work a useful stage.
§ contribution
I keep learning in public.
Community work has never been separate from the craft for me. It is how I meet practitioners, test ideas against real rooms, and turn what I learn into something other people can use.

Public sessions
Speak
I share what I have had to relearn, from user journeys to JavaScript mental models.
AI education
Teach
Recent sessions focus on practical AI work for product, design, and engineering teams.

When tools break real language support or real workflows, I would rather fix the sharp edge.
§ 01 — community work
UX Connext and UX Talk were practical rooms.
The point was not personal visibility. It was connecting designers, product people, and builders by gathering domain experts in Bangkok.
I previously organized Thai communities focused on UX, product design, and practical knowledge sharing. The goal was to connect designers, product people, and builders with real practitioners and domain experts.
These activities have been quiet for some time, but they are still an important part of how I think about community: practical, local, and centered around people who do real work.
The largest UX Talk event I helped organize was UX Talk EP.03: Empathy, a full-day community event focused on understanding users and working across UX, business, and development teams.

I also shared UX practice publicly through a Thai WordPress.tv session about designing websites around user behavior with a lightweight user journey.

Developer community talks are where I explain what I had to rebuild.
Speaking is most useful when it turns a confusing mental model into something another builder can carry back to work.
I have also contributed to local developer communities through public technical talks, including JavaScript-related sessions.

AI education and workshops should stay close to work.
The useful sessions are the ones that help people change a real workflow, not collect prompt tricks.
More recently, I have been teaching and sharing practical AI usage in both workplace and public sessions. Topics include AI for UX Designers, ChatGPT for Organizations, and practical workflows for product, design, and engineering teams.
My focus is on helping people apply AI to real work, not just showing prompt examples or talking about hype.
§ 04 — open source
Open source contribution starts with a concrete annoyance.
This one mattered because Thai vowels and tone marks are not an edge case if Thai is part of your everyday work.
Fixed Zed's terminal rendering logic so Thai vowels, tone marks, and other combining marks stay attached to the right character instead of floating into the next cell.
§ 05 — what i can support
I am interested in supporting communities through:
- Practical workshops
- Small meetups
- Public talks
- Office hours
- Internal company sessions
- Connecting domain experts with builders
- Thai and English learning content
