Hey there! Brian Dys here — I’m a visual and visceral person at heart. Ever since my mom lent me her old film camera, I fell in love with photography. All of my creative musings were exemplified by my second brain, the computer. This journey is a topsy-turvy ride of creative pursuits — from electronic music to UX design.
I enjoy every dull and wild moments of it — yes, this life of mine that I share with a woman named Jaycelle and a boy named Bryce. Take a peek into my kaleidoscope!

When you thought that internet was going to obliterate all sorts of existing media, you were mistaken. It is silently, slowly killing them one by one by being the second screen – by being there in support of what’s showing on the TV.
One day, it will be the only TV.
I don’t know but it’s creeping in unimaginable ways. First, browsing while taking a crap. Now, 9GAG while in the shower!

Four of us from Chikka visited Smart by invitation from Edmond Gozo – the Experience Engineer of Smart. He told us he’ll show us something on the works related to the Design Thinking workshop we recently held under him.
The term, D, was inspired by the d.school (Institute of Design at Stanford). With school supplies and cardboard-styrofoam construction materials abound, it seemed more like a playroom at a pre-school wherein you get to do something from scratch the whole day. It was a teleport from the traditional meeting room wherein there’s a table, chairs, and an intercom at the middle.
Sticky notes were flaking the walls with drawings and ideas of existing and conceptual products. This is where ideas get churned and grinded, I thought.
Although still at the prototype stage, it is not the physicality of the room that will get to be replicated at various locations in the building – it is the mindset, the distinct experience of people using the room. The room becomes a means to cultivate the change in the culture of people.
In simple experiments like this we enable ourselves to progress and accept changes that are inevitable.
When I was younger, the rise of technology pointed to a future where we would all enjoy more leisure time but in fact, the more we can do the busier we become.

…And these children
that you spit on
as they try to change their worlds
are immune to your consultations.
They’re quite aware
of what they’re going through…
