From an early love of illustration to a career in design, Natthaphat’s perspective evolved over time. Instead of just considering how things look, he became more interested in why they exist at all. His process is guided by curiosity, often starting with a simple yet powerful question: Why am I doing this? He embraces an open-ended approach, sometimes letting ideas sit until they naturally take shape. There’s no strict method—just a pursuit of what feels right.

Typography plays a key role in his work, setting the tone and structure of his designs. However, he doesn’t confine himself to one medium, choosing techniques based on what best serves the idea. His goal isn’t to dictate meaning but to create moments of pause—making people notice things they might usually overlook.

While print isn’t a primary focus of his practice, he finds its perception fascinating. Giclée prints, often viewed as rare and valuable, are ultimately just ink on paper. This contrast between perception and reality is what intrigues him most—reminding us that meaning is shaped not just by what we create, but how it's seen.
