About me
Hey, I'm Ratta Kidakarn — a product designer who loves building engaging experiences. My curiosity for UX design sparked while I was working as a flight attendant, and it grew into a career of turning empathy into products people love.
01 My journey
The unusual path that taught me empathy, resilience and craft — scroll through the story.
Chapter 01
While flying with a five-star airline, I became fascinated by UX design. It was tough at first — balancing my job and learning design tools and principles during days off and after long-haul flights — but the spark wouldn't fade.
Chapter 02
I started with YouTube tutorials, then enrolled in a design boot camp in the USA. The time difference meant waking up at 3 a.m. for mentor calls — a schedule only passion could sustain.
Chapter 03
From paper wireframes to Figma, I learned by doing — even conducting quick user interviews at Starbucks, offering people a free drink for their time. That scrappy, hands-on approach produced my first end-to-end design project, and I'm still proud of it today.
Chapter 04
Years in the industry shaped me into a designer who bridges digital and physical spaces across consumer and enterprise products — bringing human-centred design to the forefront and applying strategic thinking to complex problem spaces.
Chapter 05
Today I mentor and speak at design events, teaching the next generation of designers — because the ups and downs of my own journey taught me lessons worth sharing.
My philosophy
"Even if the world says no — never say no to yourself."
02 What I do
From initial research to ongoing support — every aspect of UX design, covered with precision and creativity.
Diving into user needs and behaviours using interviews, surveys and testing — laying a user-centred foundation for each project.
Translating research into intuitive, visually appealing interfaces — focusing on user satisfaction from wireframes to prototypes.
Working side-by-side with developers so designs are not only visually striking but also technically sound and scalable.
Post-launch, I keep refining and enhancing user experiences with analytics, feedback loops and experimentation.
