Jonathan Ive

Jonathan Ive was born in 1967 in Chingford, London. He went to Chingford Foundation School, Walton High School and then studied industrial design at Northumbria University. Jonathan for his first job cofounded the London design agency Tangerine. In 1992 he was hired by Apple's then cheif of industrial design Robert Brunner after a Tangerine consultancy with Apple. After the return of Steve Jobs in 1997, Jonathan gained his current position as senior vice president of industrial design. Jonathan is the leading designer and conceptual mind behind the iMac, titanium and aluminum Powerbook, G4 Cube, Macbook, Unibody Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. These are the most innovative designs of our generation and they are making the path for future products. As long as Apple keeps employing people with ambition and amazing creativity the company will continue to grow and get better with leaps and bounds.
