Simone Clamp

Branded Environments

My name is Simone Clamp, and I'm set to graduate in July 2024 with a Bachelor of Design in Branded Environments. My educational journey has been enriched by previous studies in Communication Design, and I've gained invaluable experience in this field. This blend of expertise equips me with a diverse skill set to create and develop brands, exhibitions, and large-scale spaces. Beyond my degree, I've had the privilege of working with individual clients to create branding and 3D-modeled products, which has further honed my skills and provided practical experience in the design industry.

Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've come to recognise the paramount importance of empathy and diversity in all our projects. My current role as a disability support worker has underscored the pressing need for designs that are accessible and inclusive to all. I strive to ensure all work is held to this standard and follows these personal values closely.

I sincerely appreciate your time in reviewing my work, and I eagerly anticipate delving deeper into this passionate and inspiring industry upon my graduation from Swinburne University.

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.
