Speaker Wee Viraporn

Wee Viraporn is a lover of pixel art and pixel type. His large-scale Post-it art has appeared in office buildings, malls, restaurants, and art galleries around Bangkok.

He received a master’s degree in Typo/Graphic Studies from London College of Communication before founding “conscious,” a visual communication design studio specialized in environmental graphic design. The studio has designed signage and way-finding systems for major corporations in both public and private sectors, luxury residential projects and one of Bangkok’s largest public parks.

Believing that design should serve the society and improve quality of life, he enjoys working for social, educational and cultural organizations. His work includes designing books on architectural heritage conservation for UNESCO and making a contemporary version of Thai classical literature book for The Royal Society. He also participates in many community-driven design projects such as redesigning bus stop signage systems in Bangkok. Since 2020, when mass protests in Thailand began, he has become an observer who collects and studies typography in protest sites.
