Hannah Wilson

Branded Environments

Hi! I am Hannah Wilson, a highly creative and collaborative designer.

Successful design is as much about providing an enjoyable experience as it is about aesthetics. Striving to create this experience, I want to make an impact on the lives of others by creating enjoyable experiences. I am outcome-driven, motivated to bring people together and create change, endeavouring to empower the community through storytelling and design. Challenges only drive me to work harder, observing problems not as obstacles; instead as motivation to create a new innovative design solution.

As a diligent designer with an exceptional eye for detail, I am eager about all things to design for both 2D and 3D applications, specialising in branding, publication design, wayfinding, and branded environments. On the side of design, I am passionate about photography and digital illustration and using these mediums, I can express my appreciation for travelling, exploring new places and discovering new experiences.

I have completed the Bachelor of Design, majoring in Communication Design and Branded Environments, and alongside have gained industry experience, working for Good Life Adventure Club as an intern in South Korea, and freelance designing.

Acknowledgement of Country

The School of Design and Architecture respectfully acknowledges the Wurundjeri peoples of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners and knowledge-keepers of the lands, waters and sky that surround us, where we work, learn, create, communicate and make place. We recognise that sovereignty has never been ceded and this always was and will always be Wurundjeri Country. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who continue to make a better world through design.

We extend our acknowledgement to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, students, alumni, real-life clients, and knowledge keepers, who have contributed to our own education diversity and growth. We will continue to ensure that staff and students respectfully honour ancestral connection to Country and Place in everything that they do.

We are dedicated to the notion of design to make a better world and we acknowledge that making tools, shaping place, sharing stories, making meaning, wayfinding and collaborating have long been and continue to be both central and integral to First Peoples' cultures. We recognize that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples’ cultural contributions have continued relevance to design practice and commit to: reconciling ancestries of design and contemporary practice as well as pursuing culturally and professionally appropriate ways to engage with a diverse population of colleagues, industries and clients. In a time of treaty-making and voice we understand that there are overlaps between caring for Country and the sustainable production of goods, services, experiences, products and buildings.

Guided by the principles of respect, reconciliation, and reciprocity we undertake to indigenising and decolonising design practice by dismantling colonial structures and challenging biases that have marginalised Indigenous voices and design.

As students of SoDA you will be given opportunities to both engage with and educate yourself in Indigenous creative practices and cultural protocols through a lens of inclusivity, diversity, respect, mutual understanding, inter-cultural dialogue in all aspects of design practice. Indigenous people have been telling stories, making tools, and connecting to Country through visual media, placemaking and place marking for more than 60,000 years and these practices are part of an ongoing, evolving and live tradition.
