The subjects I teach consists of 3parts of knowledge skills; Animation, Interactive Design and Motion Graphic. The department currently organized student to learn a holistic way of media systems, in terms of meaning by digital arts. But the next coming year, in the future faculty's plan is to distinguish individually created one specific course of digital media industry needs into separate department, in order to accumulate a specialist for each field of careers. To having a specific course area in every new department, Motion Graphic Design is one of the future departments that need a personal expertise to collaborate with the course management. Consequently, the faculty has selected me for responsible in the future course description. Under those circumstances, I started to evaluate the experience techniques and understanding in professional field of motion graphics, I would like to put to use this knowledge to do my Master of Fine Arts in Motion Media Design at SCAD University, with my strong ambition in achieving success. I realized that the time has come to pursue my personal goal and reinvent my concept of in-depth knowledge of the subject and to manage this chance to the fullest possible extend and for achieving the ultimate success.
During my high school in College of Fine Arts, my first comic competed in Thailand comic rookie challenge festival. In that moment, I completely knew that I would develop my ability of cartoon making performance to a high level of professional standard. A various aspect of art that I was taught for 4 years became my confidential in target of study. Consequently, I specified art skill in learning and understanding an animation media by chose to study the advanced diploma of Electronic Design and Interactive Media at Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Australia. While I was gaining up for all the potential of techniques and tools for emanating animation work, the advantage from many job opportunity has came over me to improve my creativity skill which always obtain a new knowledge and solution of animation career needs.

This profession brought my early education played key role in developing my ability that created important condition for me to learning interface design knowledge at a very early stage. Several projects passed on me while inserted utilizing conceptual of user interface design which applied to the function and combine with animation gimmick were my best way to found the solution of client purpose. But still, I need to satisfy of develop a real desire to advancing my animation skill.
During my career, my interest of refining new effective way by combining two techniques of animation and motion graphic into the work. I suddenly discovered that my enthusiastic life of animation would be enhanced by the use of motion media. Whereas the company supervisors discovered my specialize technique in 2D animation which could bring their business in great higher expectation by come up with the idea of inaugurate a new specific branch of animation work department for taking more advantage in market strategies. I thought that I could grow with them of the use of my accurately work field, but I profoundly impulse to cross traditional boundaries of different techniques and media. Before I leave the company, I organized production team by providing and training new people for practical knowledge of animation to supplanted my position. Apart from animation studio, I became a motion graphic artist at Emotion Lab Studio as I delighted to find my improvement of motion graphic techniques and skill and problem-solving skill as well as teamwork skill.
