THITIMA CHAROENRAK

Thitima Charoenrak - Fashion Designer and Illustrator, was born in Bangkok, Thailand. She began drawing and designing long before she began her formal training. Her comic strip "Damkeang," has been featured in the Japanese magazine "Koko," in Bangkok, and her illustrations were featured in the Japanese book, “bangkokhatsu taikentekitaigokaiwa,” in Japan. But fashion design has been her chief passion, and her love for it has only grown over the years. Taking sewing classes in the evenings as a young woman, she quickly mastered pattern development and sewing techniques. She has opened her own boutique, "Blueberry," in Bangkok, and it was a wild success, with her designs constantly selling out. Then she decided to move to New York City to further her career, attending the Parsons the New School for Design, where she received a degree in Fashion Design. She then attended the Rhode Island School of Design to further develop her expertise in computer design, and is now working on her fashion collections in New York City.
