 Words in design, hacking emotions, Uber for business and more UX this weekWhat's hot in UX this week
A design career is a progression from thin markers to fat markers →By Jorge Arango When you're starting out, someone else gives you direction. You're expected to fill in the details using very fine lines. To do so, you must understand the characteristics of the materials you're representing on the paper, whether they be code, words, images, or bricks. Once you've mastered the details, you can graduate to Sharpies. You can't get too granular with Sharpies. This is good since it allows you to focus on the relationships between elements without getting lost in the details. You now understand how things can fit together locally. You can also identify, define, and convey patterns that allow designers with finer markers to work faster. Eventually, you move up to whiteboard markers.

How we designed Oscar 2.0 →The process of redesigning all of Oscar's mobile properties, built from scratch, in react native. By Regy Perlera. Redesigning Uber for business →A lot of people were already using Uber on business trips — so how do you develop experiences that speak directly to those users? By Jeffrey Vanichsarn.

A year ago…The (frustrating) User Experience of defining your own ethnicity →The current standards for ethnicity categorization were created in 1977 by a US government agency, and last updated almost 20 years ago. The world has changed a lot since then: societies have become more global and diverse, and people have shifted the way they think about ethnicity or identify their own. So why are we still accepting the same standards — and designing experiences that force people to pick from a limited number of options? Brought to you by your friends at uxdesign.cc. Like the links?
