Starbucks introduces new drinkware designed by alumna, employee Yiqiao Wang

Starbucks Corporation introduced three new cups and mugs in late June, first at the Signing Starbucks on H Street NE and then nationally. This drinkware collection includes a 24-ounce cold cup, 16-ounce stainless steel tumbler, and a 12-ounce ceramic mug. According to the company, “the design features bold and colorful hands framed by coffee cherries that express the word ‘connect’ in American Sign Language (ASL).” They were designed by Yiqiao Wang, ’09, creative designer in the Motion Light Lab. 

Wang previously designed murals in the Signing Starbucks and in a Starbucks store in Austin, Texas.
