I’m a fashion designer passionate about storytelling through silhouette, texture, and cultural references. While most of my work leans toward womenswear, I often explore unisex elements to embrace versatility. Drawn to the softness of pastels, bows, and heart motifs, most of my designs reflect a deep love for femininity and poetic expression.

“Light of the Abyss” is a womenswear collection inspired by the hidden beauty of deep-sea creatures and the quiet poetry of the ocean. Drawing from Thai-Chinese heritage, the work explores translucent layering, hand-beading, and asymmetrical forms using sustainable fabrics like salu, silk, and organza. The design translate emotional depth and movement into tactile silhouettes that feel soft, protective, and quietly powerful - created for dreamers who finds beauty beneath the surface.
