  • Interior Design Director

    Nokyoong is a partner and the interior design director at VMA. She brings a wealth of experience from her freelance work with top Bangkok real estate firms like Sansiri, SC-Asset, Pruksa, and Ananda Development. Before joining VMA, she co-founded BREATH, an interior design company, and ChingChaChalee Cafe, a stylish eatery on Ekamai Road. In addition to her role at VMA, Nokyoong has launched her own line of designer furniture, emphasizing local, renewable, and sustainable materials.

  • Senior Designer

    Proud works across architecture and interiors, helping develop the studio’s ideas through design, models and visuals. She has a soft spot for Japanese art, culture and food, and an eye for small details. Away from the studio, cats tend to steal her attention and occasionally take over her Instagram.

  • Interior Designer / Design Coordinator

    Yuki brings together interior design, visualisation and the coordination that keeps the studio’s ideas moving. She helps the team organise its work and prepare presentations, with a positive energy that makes busy days a little lighter. And when lunchtime comes around, her homemade obento still makes everyone envious.

  • Architect / Project Coordinator

    Pangmee helps connect the studio’s designs with what happens on site, keeping contractors, drawings and materials in conversation. Originally from Phuket, she brings a warm, easygoing spirit to the team and is always up for trying something new. Having recently started driving, her weekends now come with a little more freedom and plenty of new places to explore.

  • Architect

    Boom, our steady and detail-oriented architect, brings strong technical expertise to the team. Though naturally reserved, his quiet focus and sense of responsibility make him a dependable force in every project. Outside the studio, he enjoys music, home-cooked meals, and slow, easy drives — a calm counterbalance to the fast pace of design life.

  • Architect

    Natt joined VMA after graduating from INDA at Chulalongkorn University. She has a good eye and a quick hand, whether she’s making diagrams, working on designs or putting together visuals. She’s laid-back in person, fast at work, and a serious gamer when she’s off the clock.

  • Architect

    Gap first joined VMA as an intern and returned after graduating from Silpakorn University. He enjoys exploring new ideas through design and taking on architecture competitions in his own time. Lately, he’s also been diving into the world of mechanical keyboards. A fresh brief and a satisfying clack both have their appeal.

  • Product Manager

    Peemai is one of the studio's original members. He is in charge of our ‘VMA Home’ product design line and digital marketing. He also has a double identity as a cabin crew who travels the globe looking for innovative products and ideas to enrich our work.
