This color management display is a product for professionals for use mainly in video production and photo shoots. During development, I first thought, “The essence of this product is to enhance vision in 8K resolution and create an environment that enables the user to concentrate on their work.” Hence, I created the concept of “symbolic style that enhances the essence.” The crucial point was adopting a horizontal U-shaped stand. This design eliminates any distractions from the user’s peripheral vision and enables the user to focus on the display and editing. Actually, my usual approach is to search for the essence of a product in the beginning, verbalize the image of the product, and then start designing it. If I can accurately put it into words, I believe I can create a logical product without hesitation even if I have to significantly change the design for whatever reason.
Separately, my hobby is fishing. I also started mountain stream fishing, after the owner of a bar that I frequent invited me to go fishing with him. The picture here is of a trout that I caught in a plunge pool. Fishing is the perfect way to refresh myself, as it allows me to forget daily life and immerse myself in the task. Fishing also allows me to let go of inflexible thinking, thus allowing new ideas to form in my head.
