About me

I'm Rapee Koo-akarakul, but everyone calls me Candy, my Thai nickname. I'm a Product Designer with a background in Art, Photography, and Graphic Design.

I've loved for art and design for as long as I can remember. That passion led me to study Communication Design for my bachelor degree, where I explored all kinds of creative work.

After graduating, I started my career in the gaming industry as a 2D Game Artist. I worked on concept art, game characters, UI, and in-game items. I also loved turning ideas into visuals that brought the games to life.

I got curious about how design can solve real-world problems. That curiosity let me into UX and product design, where I found new challenges to make things simpler, clearer, and easier for people to use.

These days, I'm exploring where design can bridge with code. This website is where I share what I'm learning, experimenting with, and building along the way.
