Anisa Suthayalai is the creative head behind byDefault and she deserves hall of fame recognition for the quality, diversity and uber creativity demonstrated in all her projects.
Some of the clients would have been more than challenging but she pulls it with flair, gusto and elegance and a touch of humor.
Execution like in minute attention to details, differentiation, chromatics, layout and originality.
Don’t think she has it any different than any of us – the brief – the expectations – the deadline – the budget! But she seems to step up and push everything one notch ahead.
No blatant easy solutions. Just originality and originality and originality with transcending communication skills.
