The Simple Different Core Team
Yorick

Designing Graphic User Interfaces for more than 30 years and has a passion for balancing user experience and software design with ethic.
He spends his time helping users, learning about their perceptions and needs, and creating ways to provide them with an effective and transparent solution.

Miss Mai
Code Angel
Mai is exceptionally curious, very studious and likes her job. She was a bit bored with back-end development, so she now also delves into the front-end. She has a deep desire to understand and write better code. She left university just a few years ago and is already on her way to becoming a talented full stack developer.
She bought a new car and likes to travel around the region as much as she can.
Miss Fai
Code Fairy
This beautiful young woman is learning fast. Always eager to understand how things work, she has been showing real competence in many different aspects of the creation of SimDif. Fai is a future full stack talent but also cares about the graphic qualities of her work.
At home she likes to draw and read to improve her English.
Ning
Administrative Officer and Company Mom
Ning has been here since the very beginning in 2009, doing the accounts, filing the taxes, helping get BOI status, visas and work permits. And just as importantly Ning keeps everyone happy during difficult times.
When she isn't single-handedly holding the company together, she likes knitting and embroidery. She's also a respected massage therapist.

Paul
Digital Communications
Paul has been part of SimDif twice, joining most recently in 2020. Over the past 20 years the majority of his work has been in Web Development and Digital Communications.
In his work as well as in his personal life you can clearly see his motivation to understand the world on every level, from the concrete to the abstract, and to try and adjust the way he thinks and behaves accordingly.
An inquisitive mind, an open and rigorous way of organizing concepts, and a deep understanding of SimDif’s ethics, make him a wonderful collaborator when it comes to designing our commercial strategy.
In his own words : “Living in Thailand has given me so much: language, music, friends, a new outlook.. Love above all.. and I have been blessed by a loving family back home in the UK also. I'm most grateful."
