1993 — Bangkok & Newport Beach

A third-culture beginning

Born in Bangkok and spent her first four years in Newport Beach, California, before returning to Thailand, forming an early third-culture identity.

1997–2012 — International Schooling

Media, language, and cultural identity

Educated across Bangkok's international school system, including International Community School, Harrow International School Bangkok, and International School Bangkok (ISB).

In 11th and 12th grade, an IB English A2 class became an early turning point, connecting literature, media, identity, and power in a way that would later feed into Psychomedia.

In the final years of school, burnout and physical exhaustion began building, making it increasingly difficult to keep moving through the expected academic path, though she did not yet have language for what was happening.

2013 — Brandeis

Too many fields, one mind

Studied at Brandeis University while trying to choose between too many interests at once: psychology, language, culture, media, philosophy, science, and art.

2014–2017 — Self-Directed Study

Media, trauma, and symbolic systems

Continued independent study across psychology, neuroscience, trauma and dissociation, language, symbolism, media theory, mass media manipulation, and the subconscious.

2017–2020 — East Carolina University

Language, limits, and self-direction

Studied German Language and Literature at East Carolina University after a month of intensive summer self-study led to higher-level placement in German.

The experience also exposed the limits of academic specialization: wanting to study neuroscience, theatre, design, and languages together, while encountering course sequences that made it difficult to move directly into advanced or target-language instruction.

2020–2023 — North Carolina

Solitude, observation, and education

After graduating, remained in North Carolina during a period of solitude, reflection, and observation. This period deepened her thinking around isolation, universities, language learning, self-patterning, and how education could become less fragmented.

2021 — Inherited architecture

A conceptual turning point

During this period, a series of epiphanies began to connect years of scattered knowledge into one larger structure. Ideas around language inheritance, trauma-adaptive patterns, and dopamine-based psychological regulation began to form, along with a central realization: the mind can inherit another person’s architecture and mistake it for its own.

At the same time, occasional school events became a rare interruption in deep isolation. Being around people, making eye contact, and sharing food felt unexpectedly stabilizing, and began to show how powerful even a simple gathering could be. She began to feel drawn toward creating events as a possible path, though without capital or a clear way to begin, the idea still felt out of reach.

2022 — Dog Park Community

A first community experiment

Started a dog-park Facebook group while looking for a productive way to connect people. After putting up posters at the dog park, giving away QR-code keychains, and inviting people to introduce their dogs, the group began to turn into a community. She later tested a giveaway as an engagement tool.

2023 — Bangkok

Work, loneliness, and the search for form

Returned to Bangkok still carrying the frustration of trying to fit many interests into one practical path. Faced with limited work options that felt misaligned and underpaid, she began attending social events, including board-game meetups, while thinking about work, loneliness, education, and how people find belonging.

January 2024 — Weekly Walks

The beginning of real-world connection

Started organizing informal weekly walks in the park, exploring how simple recurring gatherings could help people feel less alone.

July–December 2024 — Early Events

From gatherings to a named project

Began hosting early social events at a Bangkok venue before the project had a formal name. By December 2024, after moving toward events at Treehouse, the idea became Crimson Cat Events.

October–November 2025 — Psychomedia

Naming the field

During an intense period of writing and framework-building, Psychomedia took shape as a field. Core ideas, models, and essays began forming into a larger body of work.
