Nearly a decade ago I got to work on one of my favorite projects to date: The making of Apple’s emoji. To kickoff its 10th anniversary, I’ve written a piece on Medium. Check it out! medium.com/@agzmn/the-making…

Growing up, too many kids have their career aspirations limited by the examples they see around them.
When the destination is invisible, the path feels impossible. Introducing new role models today expands options for tomorrow.
This is how to show kids what's possible.
Thank you! 🤩

Thank you to Psychology Today @PsychToday for the fun interview on how emojis have become a nonverbal way to communicate, especially in the digital form where we’re not physically next to each other. Available online and in print as part of their November issue.

When she was just an intern at Apple, @agzmn was given the assignment to create the emojis we see on our phones. We asked her why the images can convey feelings better than words sometimes—and what her favorite emojis are. bit.ly/3fCYPYd

I want these ✏️ ! You use them like a regular pencil, but when they’re about to end you can place them into a pot and voila—you get a plant 🌱.
🎉 Thanks for the shout-out @Medium!

Oh, the memories these designs bring back. I remember designing the Notes app, while Raymond and Laurent did Calendar and Address Book. We sat next to each other, and during our coffee and tea breaks we’d take a guess at the type of stitching Steve would approve.

I can describe the exact moment I got this album. It was a birthday gift from an American friend. It still plays 20 years later. Shakira has broken records and language boundaries in so many creative ways. 🖤 Loved listening to her interview as she looks back in her career.
"Laundry Service was a testament to the fact that I was able to do anything"
Watch Shak’s new “20 Years of Laundry Service” interview ahead of the album’s birthday tomorrow.
