Jonathan Ive

Scene: The Bar. Over good beers.
Android User, checking Twitter feed: “Hmm, this guy just said something about Jony Ive, but didn’t @ reply him. The guy’s GOT to have a Twitter account.”
Blackberry User: “Who?”
AU: “Oh come on. Apple? Main designer? Responsible for their whole modern aesthetic? Jobs can basically never fire him, because he’s so important to the company. He’s probably more important than Jobs. I wonder what his actual title is…”

Senior Vice President of Industrial Design, in fact. Designated “world’s smartest designer” by Fortune Magazine and “most influential Briton in America” by The Daily Telegraph. Not to mention CBE, “Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.” Also a sexy, sexy man, apparently. Image is pilfered from Fuck Yeah Jony Ivey, if you’re into that.
