Activities
Art, for me, is both expression and service. Whether developing sustainable materials, leading community art programs for youth, or co-authoring research, I aim to merge solid findings with functionality. Each project I take on is a step toward a more sustainable world.

EcoPinet
Co-founded an environmental initiative turning pineapple leaf waste into seed-embedded paper packaging to reduce plastic waste and PM2.5 pollution.
Repurposed 260 kg of agricultural waste while empowering local farming communities and promoting eco-conscious design.
EcoPinet began as an experiment between art and science—transforming waste into hope. I wanted to prove that sustainability could be both functional and well-designed. By combining creativity with engineering, our work at Bangkok Climate Action Week taught me that innovation grows best when shared. I aim to continue exploring design-driven sustainability in college, learning how circular economies can transform communities.
As a co-founder of EcoPinet, I sought to become an inspiration and a stepping stone towards a greener, more sustainable future—using my knowledge in both the sciences and the arts to aid this process. The initiative transforms pineapple leaf waste—a common agricultural byproduct in Thailand and Southeast Asia usually burnt, releasing toxic particulates into the air—into seed-embedded paper packaging. By repurposing 260 kilograms of waste, we have reduced plastic pollution and PM2.5 emissions while also empowering rural communities by giving them a new source of additional income. Our innovation was showcased at Bangkok Climate Action Week and featured in Green interviews for its environmental and social impact. Working with my team, I led the design and branding of EcoPinet while serving as the scientific mind behind its production process — a project that fused artistic sensibility with environmental awareness.
EcoPinet embodies my commitment to uniting creativity with responsibility, showing that even small ideas, when nurtured with purpose, can evolve into tangible solutions that create real impact for both people and the planet.

Paws for a Cause
Founded a sustainable farming and livelihood initiative introducing circular farming models using frogs, crickets, and chickens.
Supported over 30 families and 3 schools by promoting food security, income generation, and environmental responsibility.
Paws for a Cause started as a small project to help families in rural areas feed themselves sustainably. What began as a community garden evolved into a movement of circular farming and shared knowledge.
I founded Paws for a Cause to address food insecurity and environmental sustainability through circular farming. The project covers over 30 families and three schools to take care of frogs, crickets, and chickens as part of an integrated system reducing waste while also generating sustainable income. My work aimed at teaching fundamental farming skills, promoting animal welfare, and linking art-based communication to environmental education. By combining creative design with community service, Paws for a Cause became a model for how young people can use innovation to support others and protect the environment. Seeing families become self-sufficient through our initiative reaffirmed my commitment.

HIV Animation Project: Devimon
Created five engaging animated videos now displayed at HIV centers and children’s hospitals across Thailand, aiming to reduce stigma and fear surrounding HIV/AIDS and to help children living with HIV feel accepted and supported.
Collaborated closely with medical professionals and advocacy groups to ensure medically accurate, empathetic storytelling.
My curiosity about the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS led me to regularly visit Rajavithi Hospital, where I supported children living with the condition. I came up with the idea of creating animated stories that educate, comfort, and empower. Working alongside doctors and families, I learned that empathy paired with creativity can help dismantle fear.
HIV/AIDS is one of the diseases that often causes fear and separation. To address this, I co-created Character Design in Animated Videos on HIV+ Children, a project that uses art and storytelling to educate and heal. I designed characters and storyboards for five 10-minute animations on self-care for HIV patients, aiming to reduce stigma and fear through empathy and information. The videos were verified by medical professionals and are now displayed at hospitals and HIV centers nationwide. Apart from animation, I organized art workshops for children and families affected by HIV, fostering a sense of belonging and community through creativity.

Treating Diseases of Ornamental Fighting Fish
Conducted scientific research testing the antibacterial effects of Terminalia catappa on Betta splendens; achieved up to 40% improvement in vitality and water quality.
Published results in the Journal of Social Science and Local Context Study.
As a child, I spent hours sketching fish in my tank, leading me to know that I have since then been studying how ecosystems work. This research bridged my love for science and living systems. Working through experimental setbacks taught me persistence, precision, and respect for the invisible connections in nature. I realized that discovery begins with only 2 keys: curiosity and patience—values I carry into both art and science.
In this independent research project, I explored how natural compounds could support animal health. I designed and conducted controlled experiments using Terminalia Catappa (Indian almond) leaf extract to treat Betta splendens diseases, improving vitality and water quality by up to 40%. The research followed professional laboratory methods of hypothesis formulation, variable isolation, and data analysis. The project was later published in the Journal of Social Science and Local Context Study, becoming my first formal publication.

Every performance, every cheering voice reminded me how collaboration creates joy. This role taught me to guide with empathy, a lesson I carry into every project and relationship I build.
Serving as one of six Lead House Captains in Shrewsbury’s Malala House taught me how leadership is built through service and collaboration. I organized over 30 assemblies and events that engaged more than 200 students across the year, encouraging participation, teamwork, and school spirit. One highlight was leading a 51-member cheer team to victory, coordinating training, music, and choreography while balancing academic responsibilities. My leadership focused on inclusivity – ensuring that every member felt valued and represented. This experience strengthened my ability to motivate others, communicate across diverse groups, and create environments where creativity and unity thrive side by side.

Art Enrichment Program for Victims of Crimes and Abuse
Designed and taught weekly art therapy sessions for children at Baan Phoomvej Boy’s Home, empowering survivors of trauma through creativity.
Raised over $800 from art exhibitions to fund education and psychological support programs.
Working with the boys at Baan Phoomvej reshaped how I see art and the whole world—not just as self-expression, but as recovery. Watching their confidence return with each brushstroke reminded me that healing is an act of creation. This experience grounded my belief that compassion must be practiced, not preached, and that art can rebuild lives where words may fall short.
Partnering with Baan Phoomvej Boy’s Home, I led an Art Enrichment Program that empowered children who had experienced trauma. Through weekly art sessions, I taught eco-friendly creative practices such as making natural paints and recycled paper while helping participants express emotions through art therapy. The students’ artwork raised considerable donations, which was reinvested in their education and well-being. Working closely with the organization’s supervisors, I learned how creative projects can nurture self-expression, restore confidence, and provide healing for vulnerable youth. This remains one of my most meaningful contributions.
