In Short

My name is Pruek /prɯk/ from Bangkok, Thailand. I am a UX practitioner. I do user research and conduct usability tests. I design user interfaces, interaction flows, and make prototypes for websites, applications, and devices. I have experienced working across several disciplines: interaction design, user research, visual design, art direction, web programming, and concept development. In my free time, I play piano, exercise, and travel.

At the moment, I’m a UX designer consultant at AFRY in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Testimonial

“Any new task or feature request that comes Pruek’s way, he quickly unravels, and comes up with nifty and thought-through designs to them.

Pruek and I worked together for a bit over a year on a large-scale automotive project. He always tackled complexity with ease, and in an organized and fast-paced manner, he presented the findings in a way that was easy to follow and served as a great discussion ground. Exploring designs, he quickly created numerous designs for the needed feature, something that made it easy to iterate our way toward a more optimal solution.

Pruek also had the ability to boost the energy in a room when it’s most needed. He also made sure that no one forgot the importance of having fun together. He was often engaged in arranging activities with the core team, as well as the extended team, outside of work.

With Pruek in your team, you will get the job done well and have a fun ride along the way!“

Viktor Edstam, UX Lean at Wint (November 2022)

“Pruek possesses a disciplined, reliable work ethic. He is well organised, efficient with his time and mindful of deadlines. He handles his epics very well and he is always supportive of others in the team. He is able to lead a meeting and align with clients expectation. He managed the client well and was effective in communicating. He understood the client’s needs and was able to translate that in a design that made sense. In user testing sessions, he had shown the capability to conduct the sessions smoothly and solved any issues we faced along the way.

Outside of work, Pruek builds strong relationships for the team, arranging many team dinner and fun activities.“

Chantchanok Chantpakpimon, Interaction Designer at Accenture Interactive (February 2021)

“Pruek has helped me in the strategy and design of a brand identity for ICX technologies and also in the UX/UI designs of our SaaS software for construction management.

As a designer, Pruek creates beautiful and functional products. Works thoroughly to not only understand the client but also the user and get under his skin. I found particularly valuable his capacity to see for the clients’ benefit and always finding the most efficient way of reaching certain goal.

On top of all that, he is a motivated professional, works efficiently and is ready to add that extra effort whenever is needed. Pruek is someone I would definitely trust for my team.“

Javier Garmendia, General Manager & Founder at ICX technologies (December 2020)

“I worked with Pruek on the large finance project. In the time that I’ve worked with him, I have seen firsthand how Pruek manages to grasp the complexity of the project under a short amount of time. His communication skills, both verbal and written, are highly effective in getting ideas and concepts across. Pruek has managed to gain the trust and praise of the clients through his professionalism and thorough understanding of the task at hand. This is evident when he was placed in the project war room on his first month in, and his management of a large and complex assignment.

Pruek has a natural ability to put others at ease in a challenging environment. He regularly gives constructive feedback and asks insightful questions in internal sessions. Pruek is empathic and highly principled. The team knows that they can always count on him whenever we encounter situations that might be sensitive. At the end of the project, Pruek organized a 360 feedback session with everyone on the team. This showed how much he values open encouragement and individual growth within the team.

During the time I worked with Pruek, I am inspired by his strong work ethics to the project and his calm demeanor during high levels of pressure.”

Karen Boswell, Visual Designer at Accenture Interactive (August 2020)

“Pruek has been a great addition to my team and made a strong impact on my business. He is reliable, independent, has strong analytical and organizational skills, works well with others and have this natural leadership that make others follow him naturally. I know I can give him a project and he will handle it and the team with good care. Pruek also excels at moderating UX workshops, user interviews or user testing sessions. His calm endeavor coupled with his natural leadership make people feel comfortable to talk around him. Pruek has a great future ahead.”

Jeremie Tisseau, CEO & Founder at Morphosis Apps (April 2019)

“Pruek is highly competent in analysing and designing user experience solutions. At Match2One he was part in designing great and easy to use solutions for advanced advertising technology as well as taking part in usability tests and research. Pruek is a great asset to any team.”

Markus Thyberg, User Experience Manager at Match2One (December 2017)
