Events
UX Happy Hour
Founder, UX Happy Hour Bangkok
Co-Organizer, UX Happy Hour Chicago
UX Happy Hour is a monthly meetup of UX professionals in multiple cities around the world. I used to co-organize the Chicago chapter of UX Happy Hour alongside Shay Howe between Jan 2012 and Jan 2014.
After I moved to Bangkok, I launched UX Happy Hour Bangkok in 2015 and have since grown the meetup to a community of over 1700 people in the years since. UX Happy Hour Bangkok came to a finale in 2025 after 10 years of successful events.
Mentorship
I mentor students and young professionals, helping them level up in their careers. I have been conducting these mentorship sessions in person and online (via the ADPList.org platform). As a result of my mentorship efforts, I have been recognized among the Top 1% of mentors globally and among the Top 10 mentors in the APAC region.
