Explore how the way you see the world shapes the way you change it.

Justin Ahrens, President & Chief Creative Officer of Rule29™ (Phoenix, Chicago, Omaha & Los Angeles), interviews Jerry Takigawa. In this episode of Design Of, Jerry shares how his Japanese American heritage, his parents’ experience with internment, and his lifelong creative practice have shaped the way he sees, and responds to, the world.

Jerry Takigawa is a rare kind of thinker, someone who approaches the world not just with creativity but with deep awareness, humility, and care. His work as an artist and storyteller explores what it means to carry a legacy, reframe pain into purpose, and make meaning in a world that often feels fragmented. Jerry’s work explores how we turn silence into story, trauma into truth, and complexity into clarity. We talk about his Japanese American heritage, the legacy of resilience passed down through his family, and how he’s built a career, and a life, rooted in intention and awareness.

This is a conversation for leaders, creators, and anyone navigating complexity. Jerry doesn’t just talk about ideas, he embodies a way of thinking that invites reflection, connection, and change.
