Where are you from? I am from Thailand, and currently based in The Netherlands.
Do you align with your astrological sign and what is it? I’m a Scorpio sun, Libra moon, and Capricorn rising, and honestly, I do relate to it. I think my Scorpio sun makes me quite intense, intuitive, and focused, especially when I care about something. My Libra moon adds a softer side because I really value harmony, aesthetics, and connection. Then my Capricorn rising makes me come across more composed and ambitious than people might expect. So I’d say I’m emotional and intuitive underneath, but I present myself in a very grounded and intentional way.
What inspired you to start modeling? I have always been inspired by aesthetics, beauty, and expression. I love how modeling can communicate a feeling or story through styling, movement, and energy. At the same time, growing up I did not really see many big models who looked like me, so that also motivated me. It made me want to be a part of that world and show that there is space for different kinds of beauty, background, and identities.
What item in your closet makes you feel the most confident when you wear it? The biggest lesson I learned is that rejection is often redirection. As a model, your look can be in and out of style depending on the season, the client, or the concept, so I learned not to take every “no” personally. Sometimes it has nothing to do with your worth or potential, it just means you were not the right fit for that specific moment. That helped me become more grounded, patient, and confident in myself.
What is your dream brand to work for? I do not have one specific dream brand, but I would love to work on a campaign for a car brand or a sports brand. I’m really drawn to visuals that feel powerful, dynamic, and cinematic, so for me it is more about the energy and storytelling of the campaign than one specific brand name.
Who is your role model in the fashion industry? One person I really admire in fashion is Robert Wun. I love how his designs feel dramatic, cinematic, and emotional. His work feels like more than just clothing, it feels like storytelling, and that really inspires me because I have always loved fashion as a form of expression.
Who would you like to be a role model to? Honestly, I would like to be a role model to my younger self, and to anyone who needs a little courage to just do it. I think a lot of people wait until they feel ready or confident enough, but sometimes you build that confidence by starting. I would love to be someone who makes people feel like they can take up space too.
