Hi, this is Sai / Pitshaya Chonato.
Digital Designer & Design Researcher
About Me
I'm a designer who moves between design research and digital product design. I love working with how people navigate their lives with data and technology, sometimes turning complex health or civic issues into stories and ideas that make sense, other times designing everyday products and apps that make people's lives easier.
My work spans healthcare design, digital health, and data storytelling, but I also enjoy designing for everyday experiences, from hospital patient journeys to music platforms to apps for a robot vacuum. At the core, I'm always asking: how can design connect data with people's messy lived experiences and relationships?
Background
I recently finished my MSc in Design for Interaction at TU Delft (cum laude) with a specialization in Medisign (healthcare design). My thesis explored how Thai families share health data to support chronic care, resulting in a design framework for relational use in health technologies.
Before that, I spent 4+ years in Bangkok working as a UI/UX and data designer with Punch Up & WeVis, collaborating with journalists, international NGOs, and universities. I created interactive visualizations and civic platforms around healthcare, climate change, and government transparency—projects that reached wide public audiences.
Approach
I combine participatory design research methods with practical product skills. I believe in data humanism, seeing data not just as numbers but as part of human stories and relationships. Whether I'm running co-creation sessions with people with chronic conditions and their families or building human-friendly prototypes in Figma, I design with people and the contexts of their lives at the center.
Interests & Focus
My work brings together digital health, everyday product design, and human–data interaction. I’m especially interested in how families and communities make sense of health information, and how participatory design can support these practices. Alongside health and care projects, I also design everyday apps and services, always with an eye on making data more relatable and meaningful in daily life.
What's next !?
I’m looking for opportunities and projects where I can bring together design research depth and digital design craft, working on health innovation, data-driven platforms, or everyday products that connect with people’s lived experiences.
