‘Why is American Cash Only One Shade of Green?’ And Other Questions That Sparked My Career in Design
By: Jade Huang
When, at 15, I moved to the United States from China, many things puzzled me. For instance, I didn’t understand why people keep asking “What’s up?” when, really, they just meant “Hi,” and weren’t looking for any further discourse, let alone what might actually be “up” in the air or sky. Another: Why is American cash all just one shade of green? (Oh, interesting!) And why are glasses at restaurants often filled with more ice than water? What I had known as the norms in China (i.e., we prefer our water warm or hot; ice is not…

Next month, colleges and universities around the country will start Round 2 of online learning, the unabating pandemic (in the U.S., anyway) keeping students and faculty off campuses and instead in virtual classrooms, not unlike the end of the recent spring semester.
But a few weeks of interrupted learning is one thing.
It’s another when students are beginning…

Spend time in American cities these days and you’re bound to notice they’re no longer the places we once knew. Roads are emptier. Skies are clearer. Shopfronts, many forced to close for the better part of the spring, are only starting to re-open. And it’s a pretty safe bet that most of the people you see — if…

In February, what feels like six years ago, everything was humming along for George Foreman III (yes, the champ’s son) and his fitness company, EverybodyFights, a boxing gym with more than a dozen locations in the United States and one that’s trained nearly 150,000 people around the world.
Then, seemingly overnight, the planet came to a standstill as…

The COVID-19 pandemic has paralyzed global economies and upended daily life worldwide. Millions have been infected around the world and more than 120,000 people in the United States have died. And for now, it appears there may be no “second wave” to the virus; rather, one long sustained wave that won’t abate for a while.

A while back, the blog post Why Wireframes Are Becoming Obsolete was published on The Startup. It’s hardly a novel take anymore, yet the topic still strikes a chord on Design Twitter and elsewhere. The article’s argument, in sum, hangs on a few points that deem wireframes cumbersome and unnecessary, wasted effort between research and final design phases. It’s a fun thought to play out, no doubt, and one irresistible to an industry tasked with eliminating inefficiencies. And as someone for whom wireframes help pay the bills, my curiosity too was piqued. I opened the article with…

For the last three months, beginning in early March with the first major COVID-19 outbreaks, every sports league in the country — from professional ranks to Little League — froze play or practice. Fears of the virus spreading among players, fans, and stadium personnel canceled the NCAA college basketball tournaments, delayed MLB’s Opening Day, wiped out the Masters…

On New Year’s Day, a new law, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), quietly went into effect across the Golden State. The law gives 40 million California residents the right to know what’s happening with their personal online data (what data is being collected, and if and where it’s being sold), to access any and all information a company may have, and, finally, to opt-out of such collection and selling without punishment like slower services or higher prices. …
