Something wrong?He shaped the objects that redefined personal computing - the translucent iMac that saved Apple, the iPod that shrank music to your pocket, the iPhone that turned a phone into a portal. Working beside Steve Jobs for two decades, he turned industrial design into religion.

About this person
Born in London on 27 February 1967, Ive moved to Stafford at twelve and studied design at Newcastle Polytechnic. He joined the London firm Tangerine, working on projects for LG and Apple, then went full-time to Apple in September 1992. After Steve Jobs returned in the late 1990s, Ive rose to senior vice-president of industrial design - the beginning of a partnership that produced the Power Mac G4 Cube, the iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch, and iOS itself. He became chief design officer in 2015, left in July 2019, and founded LoveFrom, a collective now working with Ferrari, Airbnb, and OpenAI. Knighted, named a Royal Designer for Industry, and ranked the most influential person in British culture in a 2004 BBC poll, he has been chancellor of the Royal College of Art since 2017.
