MESSYMACHINE.WORK
Design & research for the messy, human side of technology ◡̈
I am a designer and researcher from Bangkok, now living in Rotterdam.
I believe people sit somewhere between the robotic perfect citizen and the one who needs endless gamification to care. I'm interested in that in-between, where health can be relational, technology is entangled with our lives, and messiness is just how we actually live.
That gap shows up across a lot of domains I care about: chronic care and family coordination, aging and care networks, mental health and social support, civic technology and collective action, AI and human collaboration in care settings.
I work from data humanism perspective: behind every data point is a person in relationship with other people in a collective world we share, and my work should support that. I'm as interested in how systems are lived with and maintained over time beyond they day they're launched — repair and reflection are woven into iteration.
Background
I recently completed my MSc in Design for Interaction at TU Delft (cum laude), specializing in Medisign (healthcare design). My thesis explored how families share health information to support chronic care, resulting in a framework for relational use in health technologies.
Before that, I spent four years in Bangkok working as a UI/UX and data designer with Punch Up & WeVis, collaborating with journalists, NGOs, and universities. I created interactive visualizations and civic platforms about healthcare, climate change, and government transparency, reaching wide public audiences.
How I Work
I combine participatory design methods with practical product skills. I believe design should reflect the stories and relationships behind data. Whether I’m facilitating co-creation sessions or building human-friendly prototypes, I work with people and the contexts of their lives at the center. Looking ahead, I'm thinking about futures where healthcare workers are straining and technology increasingly fills gaps - but only if we design systems that support human relationships rather than replace them.
What I'm looking for
Design research or product design roles where human complexity is treated as the nature to design with, not the problem to solve — across chronic care and family coordination, aging and care networks, mental health and social support, civic technology and collective action, AI and human collaboration in care settings.
