Johnathan Ives
Working at Apple, Jonathan has overseen such iconic products as the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and, most recently, the iPad. In so doing, he and his team have produced a range of products that have been central to the company's revitalization. For his part, Ive says he prioritises "better" over "new" and favours user-friendly design that is simple to use and understand, a philosophy that many have copied, few have repeated.
