I read somewhere that Sundays on LinkedIn are for personal stories. If you've wondered what made me become an 'ethical designer', here's the story 👇🏻 Back in 2017, I took off on what I thought was an innocent study exchange to Indonesia, not realizing it would completely flip my world upside down. For 5 months, I lived on campus in Bandung near the Citarum River, one of the most polluted rivers on the planet. Seeing mounds of plastic waste clogging up this important water source for Indonesians was a shock. Of course, before coming to Indonesia I was aware of this reality but environmental issues like these are so hidden from our daily life in the Western world. It’s one thing to read about it, but seeing it firsthand is something else entirely. This is when I started questioning the impact of my work in advertising; where the goal is to promote more consumption. It didn't sit right with me. Armed with just pen and paper, I started making little sketches in my notebooks related to this issue. I posted these drawings on Instagram to share my feelings about these issues I was seeing. And from there, people started liking, following, and sharing. It was clear to me that I wasn't the only one who cared. 6 months after I returned from Indonesia, I quit my advertising career to pursue my own illustration and design work. And since 2019, it's been my full-time gig to create visuals that spark conversations and inspire action. I'm proud to work with people who care about environmental causes and protecting natural habitats. And it feels good to know that my work fosters curiosity, understanding and a deeper connection to nature. Stepping into the unknown changed everything for me. If you’ve ever made a leap that ended up defining your direction, I’d love to hear about it! And for fun, I'm sharing my very first 'plastic pollution' illustration created while I was stuck in a traffic jam in Bandung 🚕 #plasticpollution #sustainability #creator #designer #oceanhealth #oceanconservation #illustrator

Deputy Governor Sanon Wangsrangboon's insights at the event Culture and Creative Cities: Strategies for Impactful City Branding in THACCA SPLASH - Soft Power Forum offer a glimpse into Bangkok's ambitious transformation.    The city's decision to adopt a unified visual identity is a strategic move aimed at strengthening its global reputation, improving the quality of life for its residents, and promoting sustainable development.   The Power of Visual Identity. A strong visual identity is more than just aesthetics; it's a powerful tool for communication and engagement by creating a consistent and recognizable brand.   "A major challenge facing Bangkok is the perception of inaccessibility. Government agencies are often seen as distant from the people. BMA is working to improve unified communication. How can we ensure that citizens immediately recognize the connection between BMA, government agencies, and our city? A strong visual identity can enhance accessibility, create a lasting impression, and foster a sense of pride in our city without requiring significant changes.”   Mr. Sanon Wangsrangboon, Deputy Governor of Bangkok   ___ คุณศานนท์ หวังสร้างบุญ มองเห็นพลังของ Visual Identity ในการสร้างกรุงเทพฯ ที่เข้าถึงง่ายและเป็นมิตรกับประชาชนมากขึ้น การเปิดโอกาสให้คนมีส่วนร่วมในการออกแบบ ไม่เพียงแต่สร้างสรรค์ผลงานที่สวยงาม แต่ยังสร้างความรู้สึกเป็นเจ้าของเมืองร่วมกันอีกด้วย Visual Identity ไม่ใช่แค่ดีไซน์ แต่คือการสร้างความเข้าใจและความเชื่อมโยงระหว่างคนกับเมือง Visit us: cea.or.th   #CreativeEconomy #CreativeIndustry #CEA #CreativeEconomyAgency #TCDC #ThailandCreativeAndDesignCenter #Bangkok #CityBranding #Design #UCCN #THACCASPLASH

Last night, Futurarc Prize 2024 Asia's Leading Design Competition announced winners and merits list through their mobile apps. I was awarded as the First Place Winner with the title of the proposal OUROBOROS : The Architectural Gamification to Terraforming Tangerang Trashcape, a concept of cradle-to-cradle urban waste management system through Waste Treatment Park complex with a gamification approach as cultural renewal for Tangerang's citizen behavior. This proposal expects behavior change, encourages the folks to be knowledgeable about proper waste management, and slow down the lifecycle of any materials being dumped at the Rawa Kucing Landfill. The gamification should become a trigger and addiction, with a task-reward system such as sorting, storing, and Gotong Royong neighbor cleaning, to make the facility work well and ease every stakeholder to collect real-time trash data and develop tailor-based waste policy. #FuturarcPrize2024 #Futurarc #Architecture #Urban #Design #Competition #Ouroboros #WasteTreatmentPark #Trash #Gamification

At its core, FlexiPASI embraces the idea of modularity, where the walls within the house are not fixed in place but rather can be easily moved or removed altogether. This fundamental feature enables residents to redefine the layout of their homes according to their evolving needs and preferences. Whether it's creating open-plan living spaces for social gatherings, partitioning rooms for privacy, or expanding certain areas to accommodate new activities, the adaptability of FlexiPASI allows residents to tailor their living space to suit their lifestyles.
