Pattida Panyakaew (Patti)
She/Her/Hers
Patti is a set designer and architect from Bangkok, Thailand. In summer 2016, she did a cultural volunteer work in Vienna, Austria and that jump-started her passion in merging her architecture background with theater and music. She believes that the design practice needs to represent the multilayer of story, context, culture, character and altogether plays an active part over time, not only in form or space aesthetics.
She received her bachelor degree in interior architecture from Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, her hometown, with first-class honors and Valedictorian Gold Medal Award before working in an architecture firm; N7A Architects.
She is currently pursuing her MFA in Set Design at David Geffen School of Drama, Yale University and is a recipient of Ming Cho Lee and Donald M. Oenslager scholarship awards.
She also works as a costume illustrator and other form of design/art.
