Pimdao Panichsamai finished her secondary education at Chitralada School and her BFA (2nd honours) in western music at the Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Chulalongkorn University. She currently works as an artist, singer, actor and experimental filmmaker.

Mutmee fell in love with singing and acting at a very young age. She auditioned for Si Phaendin: The Musical and was cast as the young Mae Phloi. Her subsequent acting and directing classes with Mom Luang Bhandevavov “Mom Noi” Devakula enhanced her interest in performing arts as well as art of living. She then aspired to create her own works and by far has made three short films, focusing on movement, lighting and theatricality with stories involving the human mind and global society.
