I've been building Studio Kowa from the inside out with a new mark, a refined color and type system, and a studio direction that actually reflects where I want this project to go. I've been building this idea on the side for a while now, while freelancing for different clients over the years. The focus is on helping founders and cultural clients put their first step forward through clean, energetic design and brand systems. I'm directing AI with a strict point of view and using it to move faster while also flagging poor results. I will be sharing more on the studio this week as well as a new website built in Framer!

Directing AI with a strict point of view instead of just prompting and accepting whatever comes back is the actual skill gap right now. most people either avoid AI in brand work entirely or let it flatten their taste. doing both, moving faster and still catching poor output, is a harder discipline than either extreme

Well said. I think for me it is being able to push past the first two versions and direct something with a real point of view and feeling. I think empaths who generate are where it it is at. Creating a feeling that connects rather than a quick simple output.

that distinction matters. a lot of AI output stops at competent because nobody pushed past the first draft to ask if it actually feels like anything
