Nice to
Meet you
Hi, I'm Thanacha! I found my way to design after thinking I'd become an engineer when I was younger. Turns out, I'm way more interested in problem-solving through creativity.
Outside of design, I spend a lot of my time finding inspiration through social media, sports, food, and music. I'm into watching sports, collecting trading cards (baseball is my main thing, but I'll pick up football and basketball too), gaming, and trying new restaurants and recipes I come across online. Music is almost always playing in the background, and honestly, I'll listen to just about anything.
I like a balance between spontaneity and structure. I enjoy last-minute plans, but I also like knowing what I'm getting into and having a plan in place. That mindset carries into my work too, where I stay flexible while still being thoughtful and intentional.
Let's connect! Whether you want to talk design, swap ideas, or just chat about sports, I'm always up for a good conversation.

EXPERIENCE
Aspen AI
UI/UX Designer (Contract)
Jun 2025 - Nov 2025
At Aspen AI, I worked as a UI/UX Designer on a contract basis, collaborating with cross-functional teams to design solution mockups and user flows for internal learning and content workflows within the company's LMS.
I supported user research by conducting interviews with field technicians, engineers, and leadership to better understand how technical content is created, structured, and used in real-world settings.
One of my key contributions was designing solution mockups that showed how long-form technical documentation could be transformed into clear, structured, and engaging learning content, helping teams visualize future workflows and tools.
Throughout the project, I worked closely with a solution architect and the LMS team to shape the overall structure, flow, and usability of the learning experience.
HatchBridge Incubator
UI/UX Design Fellow
November 2024 - May 2025
At HatchBridge Incubator, I worked with a team of four design fellows to help startups improve their digital products through UI/UX design, prototyping, and user research, making them more user-friendly and functional.
One of our projects involved designing and developing interactive workbooks for the Hatching Success and Chasing Venture workshops, guiding entrepreneurs through key business strategies using structured design frameworks.
I also collaborated with my team and a client to redesign her startup's website, focused on modernizing the UI, improving usability, and increasing engagement through better structure and design.
As a team, we worked closely with founders to translate ideas into high-fidelity prototypes and validate design decisions through usability testing.
