💪🏻 Future Plans
Living my life as simplest as I can
Hi ! I'm Wiriya Mana-anantakul or Joy.
Briefly Introduction
Someone who loves solving problems, observing people, craftsmanship, graphic design, management, photo&filming, food&beverage, spiritual learning & self-development.
Long Story
I graduated from an industrial design school and started my career life in the graphic design industry in Thailand. I developed myself and my design skills through various types of works such as art direction, graphic design, exhibition design, editorial design, and user experience design. The most valuable experience for this 5-years career is meeting diverse types of businesses and getting opportunities to do research, applied what I learned from school, create story-telling, and bring insight data to create design executions.
After that, I wanted to expand my working skills further in management. I joined a small online fashion brand by starting to be a project manager with a graphic base who is responsible for all social media platforms, graphic design, and also marketing. In the meantime, I came up with an idea for my own employment which derived from my interest in the current environment. That's when Little Loulou House launched at the beginning of 2020 and I'm still working on it remotely.
I had a wonderful opportunity to join the hospitality industry in F&B department in 2021, hands-on work which delivers unforgettable moments and experiences for the guests. That's when I see clearly my future career path. Hotel is where I could share my design vision, management skills, and hospitality altogether. I'm planning to get the F&B management certificate in the near future and am willing to work everywhere I can learn and bring my design management skills with environmental concerns to benefit the team.
