A Summer Intern Gave life to Apple’s emojis In the summer of 2008, Emily, a bright-eyed intern at Apple, joined the design team tasked with creating something new—emojis. Though initially relegated to simple tasks, her enthusiasm caught the eye of lead designer, Tom. One day, during a brainstorming session, the team was stuck on a crucial point: how to make the emojis universally appealing. Emily, recalling her diverse friend group, suggested incorporating a range of skin tones and expressions to reflect various emotions and cultures. She sketched a smiling face with different shades and expressions, a novel idea at the time. Tom saw the potential in Emily's inclusive vision. Her concept was refined and soon became a key feature of Apple's emoji set. By summer's end, Emily’s contributions had helped shape a universal language that would be used by millions. Her summer at Apple ended, but her impact on digital communication endured, celebrated quietly with every shared smiley.
