Sir Jonathan Paul Ive (born 27 February 1967) is a British-American designer.[1] He is best known for his work at Apple Inc., where he was senior vice president of industrial design and chief design officer.[2][3] Ive is the founder of LoveFrom, a creative collective that works with Ferrari, Airbnb, OpenAI and other global brands.[4][5] He has been chancellor of the Royal College of Art in London since 2017.
Ive joined Apple in September 1992, and was promoted to senior vice president of industrial design in the late 1990s after the return of the co-founder, Steve Jobs. He was Chief Design Officer from 2015 until his departure in July 2019. Working closely with Jobs, Ive played a vital role in the designs of products including the Apple Watch, iMac, Power Mac G4 Cube, iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and the user interface of Apple's mobile operating system iOS. He was also responsible for the design of major architectural projects including Apple Park and Apple Stores.
Born in London, Ive lived there until his family moved to Stafford when he was 12. He studied design at Newcastle Polytechnic[a] and later joined the London-based design firm Tangerine, where he worked on client projects for LG and Ideal Standard as well as Apple.[6] After leaving Tangerine to join Apple full time, he began designing the decade's PowerBooks and Macs. He acquired US citizenship in 2012.[7][1] He was invited to join the Royal College of Art in May 2017 as its head of college, serving a fixed five-year term until May 2022.
Ive has received accolades and honours for his designs and patents. In the United Kingdom, he has been appointed a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI), an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (HonFREng), and a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE). In 2018, he was awarded the Hawking Fellowship of the Cambridge Union Society.[8] In a 2004 BBC poll of cultural writers, Ive was ranked the most influential person in British culture.[9] His designs have been described as integral to the successes of Apple, one of the world's largest information technology companies by revenue and market capitalisation.[10]
