Hi there!
I'm Siriyakorn, a game design student from Bangkok, Thailand. My native nickname is Praew, but I also go by Panda.
I've been studying game design for over 3 years, but my love for video games started when I was little. Just as games have brought joy to my life, I want to create fun experiences that become part of people's inspiring memories, and offer fun escapes from daily life—opening their world to something vast and new.
I enjoy games across a wide range of genres and scales, and I believe meaningful experiences can be achieved through any form of game. That's why I'm always open to working in different genres. I believe the fundamentals and unique qualities of each genre can be learned through a game designer's lens, and I have so much fun doing exactly that.
So, if you're looking for a game design newbie with solid fundamentals and flexibility, feel free to get in touch to explore possibilities!
My Favorite Games
Nier: Automata
Life is Strange
Bayonetta
Devil May Cry
Dave the Diver
Overcooked!
Genshin Impact
Apart from video games...
I also love traveling, food, cats, museums, and movies! (My Letterboxd)I often draw on film references for worldbuilding and narrative to support player experience, which has been very useful in my game design work.
