A Dialogue with Judd
Humanity is inherently vulnerable to 'definitions' placed before its eyes. As explained by the concept of 'hindsight bias' in behavioral economics, when presented with a commonplace small box or a mass of concrete, people tend to accept it as 'Minimal' or 'Art' simply because they are told it is so. We are fragile beings, prone to believing that 'it must be so' the moment a label is applied.

TP's Value in AI-Era: Beyond Mere Computation
The proliferation of AI by tech giants has democratized access to "collective intelligence." While this may seem to diminish individual expertise, AI algorithms inherently pursue "statistical averages" or "plausible approximations." This fundamentally differs from the "absolute intelligence" humans attain through introspection and experience. Thus, the value of true expertise is being redefined in a purer form.
ART/CRITIQUE
Marcel Duchamp And Modern Art
Conventional art education was rooted strictly in drawing and formal modeling. Throughout my formative years, educators never spoke of the depths of abstraction. Anything resembling performance or conceptualism no matter how humorous-was treated as a target for public ridicule and reprimand. This environment bred a natural defiance; for me, it was all excruciatingly tedious.

Album Art in the Age of Streaming
Does the "Silent Dialogue" still exist in our digital pockets?
Today, the subscription-based monthly model dominates, offering unlimited music for a modest fee. While we have lost the thrill of picking out a long-awaited record from alphabetized racks, the act of staring intently at the album art on a tablet screen has led me to a renewed appreciation for its brilliance.

The Boundless Potential of Color's Influence
The influence of color, much like business itself, holds boundless potential. The energy a piece emits is a direct and vivid manifestation of the creator's sense and skill. This holds true for a painting, a web design, or a simple household appliance.
ART/COLOR
Unveiling Matisse: The Essence of Red
Red is frequently adopted as a corporate color for major global brands. In my role evaluating how renowned design firms handle this hue, I have noticed a recent struggle, perhaps due to the talent shortage in the DX boom. Often, the execution is too 'dense,' making the screen feel heavy and lacking in overall sophistication.

UX Strategy
Business opportunities and possibilities unfold in layers, shifting and intertwining like a classical fugue. This complexity demands the capacity to fluidly align every touchpoint with strategy and tactics. Programming skills alone cannot create a great product; nor can design skills alone. Our design strategy possesses the definitive power to forge a resonance between people and products.
