I was selected among hundreds to join the Product Design Team led by P’Dew
@doonyapolsrichan for “BORDERLESS: Design X Change – A Collaborative Design Workshop.” 50 emerging designers — 25 Graphic (under Irobe Yoshiaki
@irobedesign ), 25 Product (Mitsuko Matsuzoe,
@d_department ). I was the youngest in my team and the only fashion designer in the entire workshop. We learned Zero-to-One design thinking, designing from the subconscious.
Our brief: Create a sustainable product for DoiTung
@doitung.official , a social enterprise known worldwide (Muji Café uses their coffee & Thai Airways sources beans from them ☕️).
I developed a scarf that transforms into a hat, inspired by the continuous line of an apple peel. If a single product can work across both spring/summer and autumn/winter, it becomes wearable all year round. When I showed the apple-peel image during the consultation, even the translator said “Ah!” outloud before I finished speaking, a moment that reminded me that great design should be instantly understood by anyone.
My teammates were incredible: P’No
@yanotree — ceramic mug for everyone to make latte art (Mitsuko-san took photos!) P’Mince & P’Pol
@mince_bangkok — bag using leftover textile layers, P’Tae
@patipat_chaiwitesh — jewelry from paper waste, so impressive Mitsuko-san wants to help sell it!
Mitsuko-san even told me to contact her next time I visit Tokyo as we now knew each other. Can’t believe it, the President of such a renowned company in Japan remembered me 🥹
