About Krisada Wasoontarajaroen | How I Approach Design

Krisada "Kris" Wasoontarajaroen

My favourite part of design is watching an idea change. I like seeing where something starts: a rough sketch, a messy layout, or a first version that does not fully work yet. Then I like the process of shaping it, testing choices, fixing what feels off, and seeing what it becomes at the end.

That process is what pulled me toward design. I enjoy noticing small details, asking why something feels confusing, and finding ways to make it clearer. Whether I am working on a poster, tip sheet, slide deck, website, or interface, I care about the change between the first draft and the final piece.

My Story

How I Started

I moved to Canada from Thailand and later studied Interactive Media Design at Algonquin College. My path into design came from being curious about how people understand what they see. I would look at posters, websites, signs, and layouts and think about what I would change. Studying design gave me a way to turn that habit into a process: research, sketch, test, revise, and build.

How I Work

I do not expect the first version to be perfect. Most of my work starts rough, then gets better through small choices: spacing, type, colour, hierarchy, content order, and flow. I like comparing versions, listening to feedback, and making changes until the work feels clear, balanced, and finished.

What Keeps Me Going

The most satisfying part is seeing the before and after. I like looking back at the first version and seeing how much it changed by the end. That progress keeps me motivated because each project teaches me a better way to solve problems, organize information, and make something useful for people.

Interests

Photography

Photography helps me notice light, framing, timing, and small details. Those habits also show up in the way I design.

Gaming

Games make me think about systems, feedback, and how people learn through interaction. That interest also led me to build the Game Server Configuration Generator.

Exploring

Longboarding, travelling, anime, and trying new food help me stay curious. I like seeing different places, styles, and visual ideas that can later influence my work.
