How would you describe yourself in a few words?
Ambitious, dedicated, loyal and stubborn.
How long have you been a model?
I started modeling while I was in high school back in 2013.
How did you get into modeling?
My friend and classmate at the time, Kanticha Chumma, had been plotting to get me into the modeling industry for a while before “it” happened. She had been modeling for years when she got a message from the extraordinarily talented photographer, Elinleticia Högabo, who had just had a model cancel on her for a photo shoot. Högabo wanted Kanticha to fill in the same day. Despite it being a great opportunity for Kanticha she put it on the line by posing Högabo the ultimatum of shooting both of us or none. To which she fortunately agreed and shortly after we were on a train to the neighboring city.
How was your first shooting? Tell us a bit about that first experience.
It was very hectic. We had left right after school. I was incredibly nervous. Working with an experienced model, Kanticha, and an amazing photographer, Elinleticia, while wearing an incredibly gorgeous, and elaborate piece from Osipa Costumes, who wouldn’t be? I had no idea what I was doing, luckily Kanticha was there to give me some pointers and one of the photos even ended up on photo Vogue.it.
What does modeling mean to you?
Modeling is my greatest outlet of creativity. Some people dance, others paint, I model. It’s a great way to express yourself.
A model you particularly admire?
I am absolutely head over heels for Kendall Jenner (aren’t we all?). But my greatest source of inspiration is unequivocally Kanticha Chumma, who has taken Thailand absolutely by storm, and winning The Face -Thailand.
If you could choose, where would you like to shoot?
I love underwater shoots. Along with being a challenge every time, they always result in magical photos.
What is your dressing style in everyday life?
Jeans, sneakers and a sweatshirt, sometimes I dress it up a little with a baseball cap.
If you could live anywhere, where would it be?
Brazil.
What is happiness?
Happiness is progress. When you and the people around you are working towards your respective ambitions and feeling like you are getting closer, little by little.
Where can we find you on a Friday night?
Having a good time with friends at a bar somewhere in Stockholm.
What’s your next goal?
Completing my degree in civil engineering.
