Jony Ive

Jonathan Paul “Jony” Ive is a legendary designer who was responsible for the design of many of Apple’s most iconic products, including the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad. Jony Ive has played a critical role in the company’s product design strategy, helping to establish its reputation for sleek and innovative design.

Jony Ive was born on 27 February 1967 in Chingford, a town in east London in England. His father, Michael John Ive, was a silversmith, and his mother, Pamela Mary Ive, was a psychotherapist. Jony Ive attended Chingford Foundation School just outside London, later to be the alma mater of David Beckham. While in school, Ive was diagnosed with dyslexia, but it never seriously affected his education.

Ive was curious about the inner workings of things throughout his childhood and was fascinated by how objects were put together. He would carefully dismantle radios and cassette recorders, exploring how they were assembled and how the pieces fit. Although when he tried to put the equipment back together again, he didn’t always succeed.

He joined Apple in 1992. As chief design officer, Jony was responsible for all hardware, user interface and packaging design, as well as the major architectural projects Apple Park and Apple retail stores. He led the design team for more than two decades, creating the iMac, PowerBook, MacBook, iBook, iPod, iPhone, iPad, AppleWatch, AirPods and HomePod.

He holds more than 14,000 patents worldwide, uniquely spanning both software and hardware design.

Born in London, Jony studied industrial design at college. He was appointed a Royal Designer for Industry (RDI) in 2003, an honorary fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (HonFREng) in 2006. Jony was awarded the RSA’s Benjamin Franklin Medal in 2004 and the Professor Stephen Hawking Fellowship by the Cambridge Union Society in 2018. He holds honorary doctorates from Oxford and Cambridge Universities, Rhode Island School of Design, University of the Arts London and the Royal College of Art, where he currently serves as chancellor.

Media Spotlight: Jony Ive: The Genius Behind Apple’s Greatest Products, by Leander Kahney

Leander Kahney has taken on the daunting task of writing the biography of one of the most famously publicity-shy people around today – Sir Jonathan Ive.

Ive is the creative mastermind behind many of Apple’s most successful products and, in tandem with Steve Jobs, the man who lifted Apple out of the dark days of the mid-1990s to reinvent it  one of the world’s most successful technology companies.

Kahney draws upon many sources to gain insights into Ive’s life, mostly based around his teachers and lecturers, business partners and work colleagues at Apple, as well as at his earlier enterprises – most notably, the Tangerine design agency.

The book provides a broad view of Ive’s professional life but at the expense of more personal details. As such, it feels more like an extended CV than a biography. For example, Ive’s emotional reaction to the death of Jobs, arguably one of his closest friends and colleagues, is not explored beyond a brief
