Apple's Jonathan Ive awarded knighthood
Posted 03 Jan 2012
Apple’s senior vice president of industrial design Jonathan Ive receives a KBE from the Queen “for services to design and enterprise”.
Raised in Chingford, north London, he studied design at the University of Northumbria. He began working for Apple in 1992 and has been based in California ever since. Steve Jobs, who returned to Apple in 1996, appointed Ive to his current position in 1997.
Ive made his reputation with a string of successful product designs, starting with the candy-coloured, translucent iMacs. As the company’s fortunes began to improve, Ive led his design team in creating the iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air and many more distinctive products.
Steve Jobs described Mr Ive as his “spiritual partner” in the recent biography of the Apple co-founder written by Walter Isaacson. However, it also said that Mr Ive was “hurt” by Mr Jobs taking credit for innovations that came from the design team.
The knighthood is the second time Mr Ive has been recognised in the honours list. In 2005 he was made a Commander of the British Empire (CBE).
