On Sep 13, 2018, I debuted my first "Co-Create" event at San Francisco Apple Store at Union Square. It is a hybrid form of a design talk followed by an interactive creative workshop with audience participation.
In my talk, I break down my creative process for designing iconic characters, such as the Twitter Fail Whale, the localization of Mickey Mouse for Disney Shanghai recruitment campaign, the dumpling emoji, as well as my newest character design inspired by the San Francisco sea lion; which not only allow audience to discover how culture elevates user experiences and drives business, but also provide them actionable steps to create. After the talk, audiences can get hands-on with iPad and Apple Pencil (Supply by the Apple Store or bring your own) to make colorful illustrations and captivating stories.

According to conventional wisdom, in the sixteenth century, Spain and Portugal served as a model to the English for how to go about establishing colonies in the New World and Africa. By the eighteenth century, however, it was Spain and Portugal that aspired to imitate the British. Editor Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra and the contributors to Entangled Empires challenge these long-standing assumptions, exploring how Spain, Britain, and Portugal shaped one another throughout the entire period, from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. They argue that these empires were interconnected from the very outset in their production and sharing of knowledge as well as in their economic activities. Willingly or unwillingly, African slaves, Amerindians, converso traders, smugglers, missionaries, diplomats, settlers, soldiers, and pirates crossed geographical, linguistic, and political boundaries and cocreated not only local but also imperial histories. Contributors reveal that entanglement was not merely a process that influenced events in the colonies after their founding; it was constitutive of European empire from the beginning.
The essays in Entangled Empires seek to clarify the processes that rendered the intertwined histories of these colonial worlds invisible, including practices of archival erasure as well as selective memorialization. Bringing together a large geography and chronology, Entangled Empires emphasizes the importance of understanding connections, both intellectual and practical, between the English and Iberian imperial projects. The colonial history of the United States ought to be considered part of the history of colonial Latino-America just as Latin-American history should be understood as fundamental to the formation of the United States.

“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.” – H. Jackson Brown, Jr. ~ American author best known for his bestselling work, ‘Life’s Little Instruction Book’
Our lives are defined not by what we have, but by what we give to others. The most important part of giving is in realizing that life is not about us, it’s about using the days we have to make the lives better for those around us.
Often the tough question is not whether to give, it is how and what should be given? Wanting to give is key but it is only beneficial if we provide value to those who shall receive. Too often it seems that when we give, we guess at what other people want, rather than asking them what they need.
Charitable giving should be viewed through the looking glass of solid, business decision-making in relation to what product should be brought to market. The best companies are no longer guessing at the solution that their customers want. They realize that since the products they create are for their customers, they should be involving them in the ideation process.
If our main goal as a business is to solve a problem, and that problem we are attempting to solve is for the end consumer, why should we not co-create with them? It is when we feel that we have all the answers without doing the proper research, that we construct a product no one really needs. Instead, we need to engage our customers around a mission statement, around our bigger purpose, so that we can get to know them, and so that they can get to know us.
Once we have engaged them properly, we can begin to ask them what they want, and more importantly, what they need. Our customers should be just as much a part of the creation process as us; we can’t forget that they are the ones for whom we are inventing. When we co-create efficiently, we let our customers design the product, and then we just manufacture for them. We then are able to guarantee that what we bring to market is exactly what they wanted and exactly what they are willing to pay for.
The same mindset needs to hold true for how and what we give. We may look at people from afar and think we know what resources they need. We may think that we have all the answers, but in thinking this way, we are only serving ourselves. The essential part of giving is doing the proper research first so that we can better understand who these people are, and how they can best be helped.
When we take the time to get to know people, we have a better insight into how we can be of service to them, how we can provide value to their lives. It is then, and only then, that we have the data necessary to give the way they always wanted to be received. The greatest gift is showing love, and is attainable only when we understand how people want to be loved. People want to feel appreciated, and that doesn’t start with a tangible gift, that starts with taking time to love who they are, and who they want to be.
When we look at gifting like we do creating a product, we understand that it is the end user for whom we are trying to help. The focus needs to be diverged away from the ones who are giving and onto the ones who need that gift. The greatest joy of giving is only attainable when we concentrate on the goal of understanding people so that we can understand how we can be of help.
When you give is it because you see a need that others may have? Or do you take the time to ask them what resource can make the largest impact on their lives? What we give is undeniably important, but only if we have first taken the time to understand, only if we have first taken the time to love.
Let’s make sure that when we give it is not for our own accord, but it is for the betterment of humankind. When we take the time to love, we take the time to give unselfishly. Open hearts open hands. How open is yours?
(The first step in giving is to love.)
