CM-05.1 · opening titles
a nine-chapter picture
Charun Meedate
I find joy in turning messy ideas into designs that just make sense.

CM-05.2 · the name
Everyone calls me Khao-Oat.
ข้าวโอ๊ต — พูดเร็ว ๆ จะได้ยินว่า “โคตร”
Say it fast and it turns into โคตร — Thai for “seriously”. The joke refused to stay a joke, so I built it into a method: know the problem, observe before judging, design something usable, solve it in the real world. Four moves, one line — think deep, design sharp.
K
know
คิดให้ลึก
know the problem
O
observe
อ่านให้ชัด
observe before judging
D
design
ดัดให้ตรง
design something usable
S
solve
สร้างให้เวิร์ก
solve it in the real world
a lamp, not the sun — I started writing kods.dsign before I felt ready, because a small light in the room beats waiting to become the sun.
Open to select projects — 2026CM-05.3 · the questions
I’m driven by curiosity — so I ask.
ผมชอบตั้งคำถาม เพราะอยากรู้ที่มาที่ไป
q 03 / 12
Why is this step here?
What happens when both hands are full?
Who chose this default?
q 06 / 12
Why 4px — why not 8?
What did this look like before?
What breaks at a thousand rows?
q 09 / 12
Would my mother understand this label?
Where does the eye land first?
ทำไมต้องกดสองครั้ง?
q 12 / 12
What is this really for?
Why does everyone tap the wrong button?
Who has to maintain this?
Questions are the raw material — everything I've shipped started as one.
CM-05.4 · the blueprint
What would nature do?
kingfisher beakจะงอยนกกระเต็น
Shinkansen 500 nose
A kingfisher enters water without a splash. Eiji Nakatsu gave the bullet train its beak — quieter tunnels, less drag, a faster train.
a chicken's neckคอไก่
camera gimbal
Hold a chicken, move its body — the head stays perfectly level. Every phone gimbal is running the same trick.
burdock burrsหนามหญ้าเจ้าชู้
Velcro
George de Mestral pulled burrs off his dog in 1941, put them under a microscope, and found the hook-and-loop.
the lotus leafใบบัว
self-cleaning surfaces
Micro-bumps make water bead and roll, carrying dirt with it — now the model for paints and glass that clean themselves.
a termite moundจอมปลวก
Eastgate Centre
Termites hold their mounds at a steady temperature with passive airflow. Harare's Eastgate Centre cools itself the same way.
humpback finครีบวาฬหลังค่อม
turbine blades
The bumps on a humpback's flipper cut drag — so wind-turbine and fan blades borrowed the same scalloped edge.
Nature is the original design system — tokens in DNA, components in cells, four billion years of iteration. Observe what works, adapt it, ship it.
ธรรมชาติออกแบบมาก่อนเรา — ผมแค่เรียนรู้จากมัน
CM-05.5 · the receipts
Where the suits went to work.
ของจริง — จับต้องได้
Five modes, one habit: ship. Every tile is live work — tap through for the whole story.
CM-05.6 · in the wild
The work left the building.
ออกไปยืนในโลกจริง
Some of it got photographed. Some of it got quoted.
EXHIBITED· 2023
BATT SWAP on the floor at Techsauce Global Summit — a national swap platform, out where people could poke it.
QUOTED· press
“Thai-made tech breaking the battery wall” — the press said it; we just shipped it.
SHOWN· 2022
Milesight LoRaWAN at Techsauce 2022, Iconsiam — IoT before it was in my job title.
CM-05.7 · off the clock
The suits come off.
นอกเวลางาน ก็ยังชอบลองของ
Between projects there's just a person — rooftops, a field test, a lake. Curiosity doesn't clock out; sometimes it just takes photos.
