Hello, I am Phoo Myat.
A designer passionate about improving human lives through thoughtful and meaningful design.
In my past career path, I was a curator and art researcher from Myanmar with a passion for new media arts and digital humanities. I have expanded my professional scope into Design since 2023, pursuing an MFA in Design at Rangsit University in Thailand. My thesis designed products to assist the emotional well-being of Burmese immigrants experiencing homesickness.
My virtual curatorial works have been featured in Art&Market and ArtAsiaPacific, with notable projects including the AR exhibition on Instagram (@re_imagine_city), presented as part of The Wrong Biennale 2023/24 and AWE Asia 2024, Singapore.
My latest research work includes researcher position for Myanmar for the British Council research report “Arts and Technologies in ASEAN - Interconnected Parts.”
