hello!

As a Product + Color Designer, I am curious and enjoy looking at everything, from packaging to furniture to fashion design. I love to touch and feel objects, travel and experience new cultures, and I'm a huge foodie.

This blog is about what inspires me and experiences from all five senses that I enjoy the most, plus some bits and insights of my design process.

The Facebooks of China

Great article from Fast Company.

China has a knack at copying, even with FaceBook. However, copying also leads to competition within Chinese companies, leading to more innovation.

Read full article.

In the hard copy issue, the article includes a diagram illustrating the US brands and its Chinese equivalents. Here are the major ones:

Google = Baidu.com

Yelp = Dianping.com

Youtube = Tudou.com, Youku.com

Amazon = Dangdang.com

eBay = Taobao.com

Expedia = cTrip.com

 

Wait...is that a pear instead of an apple on the laptop?
