Hi!
I’m Chalisa Kookitwatana and yes I know my name is super long, so instead, I go by Min! I was born and raised in Thailand.I’ve got a lot of passion and I would say passion has been the greatest driving force for me. In fact, my passion for art & design has led me to pursue my studies in design (undergraduate degree) and advertising (master’s degree). I went to Tokai University in Japan for my undergraduate degree and I’m currently studying advertising at Boston University!Another fact that you may want to know about me is that I’m trilingual - I speak Thai, English, and Japanese. I love everything about Japan so much, from its culture, food, entertainment, history, and architecture, that I made my decision to further my studies in Japan ever since I was in Grade 5!My parents are a huge inspiration for me. They furthered their studies in the US for their master's, which led me to hold an interest in studying my master's degree in the US as well.In my free time, I love to draw, design, sing, take photos, make some crafts, play games, and listen to music. In short, I’ve got a lot of hobbies :)And yes I do art in class AND outside of class, it’s basically my life ♡

The Ask
Raise awareness of breast cancer, especially in men.
Problem
Breast cancer is often associated with women so most people aren't aware that men can also get breast cancer. The chances in men are significantly smaller (less than 1%) compared to women but it's more fatal because men only go to check-ups once it's too late. Men may also feel ashamed to go for breast exams due to societal stigma.
Target Audience
Women with male family members. They worry for their family members who may not be as health-conscious and they want to keep their family safe. They are the ones who remind their family to go for regular checkups, take vitamins, eat healthy, and exercise.
Insight
No one wants to lose a family member due to a curable disease like breast cancer. Women often are the ones keeping an eye on the family's health and keeping everyone safe.
Strategy
Target the women in the family so they can have their male family members diagnosed early on by creating a welcoming environment where anyone can learn what breast cancer feels like.
Squish to Save
Do you know what a cancer lump feels like? How different is it between males and females? Knowing how to conduct a self-exam is crucial to saving you and your family members' lives. Through squishies, feel the difference between a breast cancer lump and a normal breast.

Problem: The US doesn't care about recycling because they dump their trash into other countries.
Insight: Out of sight, Out of mind.
Solution: Visualize the problem and make it unignorable so we can bring attention to the importance of recycling.

Trash infiltrates every aspect of our lives, from the seafood we consume to the air we breathe. These tiny particles find their way into our bodies and the food we feed our children. With each passing day, the scale of this issue becomes more alarmingly enormous, impacting not only our health but also that of our oceans and ecosystems. By recreating trash into giant, unignorable symbols of environmental degradation, we can bring attention to the importance of recycling.

Introduction
Ask: Redo a campaign that has failed badly while using the same key message.
Target Audience: Mobile Gamers, TikTok/Instagram Users, Project Makeover Players
Problem: Project Makeover had run ads that depicted disturbing and harmful negative body stereotyping situations from 2021 to 2023 and was ordered to take the ads down by the National Advertising Division (NAD) of BBB National Programs as of July 28, 2023. The ad also showcased false gameplay/stories not in the game. Potential new players have been chased away due to the game becoming known as "The game with trash ads".
Insight: Most people are willing to try out new games that catch their interest, especially ones that give them a positive first impression or are free to play.
Solution: The game’s strength lies in its addicting gameplay and unique storyline, so we should showcase that.

Creation Date: 25th December 2021
Topic: Creation of an interactive fashion coordination game, promoting the charm and
possibilities of fashion.
Game Type: Dress-up game, PC game
Programs Used: CloudNovel, CLIP STUDIO PAINT, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator,
Adobe After Effects, Adobe Premiere Pro, BandLab, GarageBand
Meaning behind the name: The name “Stylize” comes from the fact that the word stylize holds the meaning that something is designed to conform to a particular style, in this case, I’d like to convey the message that this game was made so players could stylize and coordinate any outfit to fit their preferences. In addition, the game centers around the player’s occupation, a stylist, which made me feel that this was the perfect name for this game.
About Stylize
“Stylize” is a game where players assume the role of a new member in a famous stylist team from the story mode and from there, the players would need to create outfit coordination according to each job’s theme. The styles introduced in the game are ancient, modern, and future fashion styles. Except for most of the backgrounds used, all of the assets in the game were created by me, including BGMs and illustrations.As the game’s main focus is to convey the charms and possibilities of fashion, players can
customize from a total of six categories; makeup, hairstyle, dress, tops, bottoms, and shoes. The game’s story is set to continue with each update, together with an increase in fashion items the players can select from. In each chapter, players are required to coordinate an outfit that fits each stage’s theme to clear it and move on to the next chapter. Every two chapters of the story, the fashion style changes, and players will receive an illustration if they clear the stage. Players may save and load their game at any time.Apart from the game’s story mode, players can find the illustrations they got from the story, the opening movie, the game’s promotional movie (PV), and the “Closet” mode from the title menu. The Closet mode is where players can dress up freely according to their preferences, and explore the endless possibilities the fashion world has to offer.The game is available in two languages, English and Japanese.

You decide to join a famous stylist team, “Stylize”, which is known for its ability to always deliver the perfect outfit for any occasion. As you learn and hone your skills as one of the members, you take part in various shows and movies as a stylist and make a name for yourself in the industry.
Game System
As soon as the player starts the game’s story mode, players can customize their name, which heightens the game’s immersive level. The story is told in a visual novel style, with mostly the player observing everyone. Players can save and load the game at any time they want so they can retry each stage easily.
Stage
In each chapter, after reading the story, players will be required to clear a stage to proceed to the next part of the story.The stage is where players would need to coordinate an outfit to fit a certain theme. The theme changes in each stage. After players are done, they will be rated on their outfit and if they get more than one star (out of three), the stage is considered cleared.As of the current update, there are six chapters in total (excluding the prologue), therefore there are also six stages in total.
Special Illustrations
Every two chapters, players will get the chance to receive a special illustration once they clear the stage. The illustrations are that of the characters in the outfit that is considered perfect for the theme.
As of the current update, three illustrations are collectible. Players may view the illustrations at any time once they obtain them in the Gallery Mode.

Apart from the story mode, in Closet Mode, players may coordinate outfits according to their preference without any theme restrictions. There is a total of 20 sets of outfits, where players can mix and match the outfits as they like.Players may customize from six categories; makeup, hair, dress, tops, bottoms, and shoes.
- Magazine Design -
Introduction
Topic: Design a magazine that includes an original cover design, and an original magazine freebie (must be a physical item). Furthermore, decorate your magazine booth to fit your magazine’s theme.
Magazine Theme: Gothic Fashion Magazine
Details: The magazine would be a monthly magazine featuring different gothic fashion styles, such as gothic, lolita, cybergoth, vampire goth, etc. For each month, the magazine would introduce clothes coordination for three gothic fashion styles (each month would be different styles) and feature a tutorial on how to redecorate things around your home to make them more gothic-themed.I believe that there are many people like me who like gothic things but are not sure which kind of goth they are more attracted to, the magazine would also feature a small quiz people can take to find out what kind of goth they are.Furthermore, the magazine also includes a small dress design contest. Readers can design a
gothic outfit according to each month’s theme and the winner’s design would then be featured
in the following month’s edition. Finally, the magazine freebie for each month would be different, but all of them would be things the reader could use in their daily lives or things they could customize and create by themselves.

Magazine Freebie
- Doll Mannequin -
As the magazine’s slogan focuses on individuality, the freebie that comes with it was also designed to promote uniqueness. For the sample magazine, the freebie was a doll mannequin that comes with a plain black dress, some fabric and decorations, and a manual on how to decorate the dress so it looks like the sample on the manual cover (for those who do not want to create their own designs). The aim for this was so people could customize their own unique gothic dress and display it in their homes.Both the freebie dress and the sample dress were hand-sewn by me and displayed at the magazine booth so that customers would have an idea of what kind of dress they could create with the freebie.

Model Creation
Live2D models are created by separating each body part into different layers, which requires a lot of time and effort. Models range from at least 100 parts to 300 different parts, depending on how many parts the client wants to be able to move.Models usually take about a month or more to finish. For this model for my client, there are about 250 different parts, using over 1500 layers (before merging them into each part), and was for commercial use.The client also requested a new outfit and some adjustments to the model in 2023.
This was a model I created for myself as a study on how to create & rig Live2D models. I made two versions of the model since I wasn't satisfied with the first version in June. The file contained about 2000 layers with about 300 different parts. The model had more layers as I also created an extra toggle for arm pose.I ended up just rigging the new version (March 2022), the rigging results can be found below.
