About

Chaiya
Katkwao.

Chaiya is a Creative Producer in Bangkok. He art-directs the work and builds the technical side that carries it: lighting, cameras, sound and the studio's own software.

He grew up between rural Udon Thani and Bangkok, and was making pictures before he studied them. At Chiang Mai University the degree ended in Woven Memories (2025), a photographic project about identity, memory and everyday life.

At Ad The Top Agency he runs multi-camera productions and live commerce sessions for several brands, and writes the procedures and software the studio runs them on.

The work has to function as well as it looks.

Some of that work is software he builds and maintains himself. Three internal systems, still in daily use by the teams they were made for, are documented in Systems. Not everything he builds is for a team: a daily dashboard, written with Claude, reads his calendar, mail, weather and the news before he does.
