Maethus's brief Portfolio 2024 by maetbhan

01 ABOUT ME

“I am the middle child of three children who was brought up in a home where good manners and the importance of pursuing knowledge was very important. In addition, all three of us were also exposed to music and art from the age of 4, thereby ensuring that all sides of our brains were developed. The progressive thinking of my parents allowed me to eventually study architecture at University.”

At the same time, I continued to improve my musical skills and began teaching the piano at the age of 15 years and became a conductor of my High School band. This taught me how to be a leader at an early age and how to behave socially and in the public eye, knowing when to speak and when to remain quiet.The opportunities that I had in my early years allowed me to shine and be outgoing in nature. I became the Student Vice President of Bangkok University, which came with signifcant responsibility such as being the Master of Ceremonies at events.

I therefore learnt to speak publicly with confdence. I also continued to be active in music, and the and Conductor of the Trim Udom Pattanakarn Marching Band. This was quite a step away from the shy kid who had no conf¬dence which I once was.

In 2014, Norman Foster & Partners debuted an exhibition in Bangkok. They were looking for 10 people to become exhibition ambassadors. Candidates had to take an exam¬ination and attend classes fre month to learnt required skills. Only a select view were then selected to present their acquired knowledge and skills and I was rated as the best Ambassador. This opportunity provided me with an invaluable experience
