Textile designer graduated from the reputable Central Saint Martins. with Bachelor of Arts in Textile Design. Her fascination in textile and art has begun from a very young age, but woven textile art is what has drawn her into the most. From the starting point of understanding pace and rhythm of weaving, she found weaving is more likely another language. And with her admiration in dedication of craftsmanship, she believes in while weaving thread by thread is her record of time. Years of experience gained from working in prominent textile companies and material industries have resutted in an in-depth knowledge of not only fundamental hand skills, but also innovative approaches and self-developed techniques practicing. Her intention to clear people's thought of traditional woven textile and introducing handwoven textile as another canvas to possibly convey her narrative.

Samita Rungkwansiriroj initiates her creative process with the challenge of combining weaving techniques with leather material. She intertwines the natural lines of leather with the arrangement of lines from weaving, presenting a new dimension through combinations of the stiffness and strength of leather with more delicate textiles.
