Where do you go, or what do you do when you get stuck on a project?
Getting out of the work environment we’re in, either going for a run, swimming, playing tennis, golfing or head to the gym. Doing something different helps ease your mind and make good ideas flow.

What project are you most proud of?
The design of the office of Seum Work Company Limited. It’s a renovation of an old building constructed during Bangkok’s Modernist era, we gave it a new life and more of a contemporary spirit
