“I believe that life is all about changes. That was the reason why I had decided to leave my stable life behind and moved from Bangkok to Milan. I had a background in digital media and decided to enroll in the Master in Visual Brand Design program at Domus Academy. During my time studying at Domus Academy, I discovered how to utilize my capabilities to my maximum potential, and I learned how to manage tasks (and have fun!) with international students from all over the globe. We are coming from different experiences and backgrounds, but differences make life more interesting! I am grateful that I have the opportunity to learn, share, and grow among these open-minded people.”
“After graduation, I have the opportunity to join the world’s leading company as a creative designer with AKQA. I can keep expanding my experience in digital media and getting accustomed to Italian culture simultaneously. I cannot imagine that my life would have come this far without Domus Academy. Grazie mille!”
