The thesis project of a Communication Design Program (CDP) alumna (Class of 2022) was selected to be produced to sell on an online marketplace platform, @artofth. Ms. Pattatan Pawataungsunit’s project, entitled “BàiJào” is a brand that is expected to save Thai-Chinese worship customs from cultural extinction.
Today, the vast majority of Thai-Chinese descent find rituals such as “qui ik” and “qing ming” confusing and inconvenient in their lives. Thus, BàiJào is an all-in-one solution to all their pain points, knowing that ease, guidance, and understanding are what Gen Y & Z desire most.
The project essentials include personalized ritual subscriptions that make shopping for offerings zero-hassle with doorstep delivery. Additionally, the packages come with clothes designed to decorate the altar and guide offering placements. Lastly, a mobile application that assists in carrying out rituals, and reviving people’s interest and understanding of this culture in fresh, user-friendly ways.
