Communication Design

Born and raised in Bangkok, Nichanon Thampramual, or Nicha, is a passionate communication designer and illustrator who specialises in branding design, publication design, photography, and illustrations. She aspires to further push her creative boundaries.

Nicha's deep-rooted passion for design and arts has been a lifelong journey. Her inspiration derives from diverse sources, ranging from music to captivating films, animations, and stylish games. Even the simplest movement of clouds kindles her creative spirit. Nicha enjoys transforming ideas into vibrant visuals and compelling narratives, which is why she is currently honing her 2D and 3D modelling and animation skills. She hopes that her design works, in the future, will become an inspiration to someone like how she is inspired by many designers and artists.

Beyond her design pursuits, she cherishes spending time with her family, including her cats, and exploring art galleries and bookshops, where she often loses track of time. Recently, she has discovered a new passion for mechanical toys, being mesmerised by their intricate designs and anatomically inspired mechanisms.

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.
