Although Steve Jobs has gone down in history as the father of Apple's hugely popular products, British designer Jonathan Ive is the creative mind behind the look and feel of devices like the MacBook, iPod, and iPhone. . In recognition of his contribution to art and design, Ive received the title of Knight Commander of the British Empire.
Ive joined Apple in 1995 after creating a mockup notebook for the company. However, he remained clearly unhappy with the company regarding the design of its products until that time.
When Steve Jobs returned as CEO of the company in 1997, the two found that they shared the same mindset and had the same visions. They both shared a passion for a sleek industrial design and together they launched what later became the most successful consumer electronics products in history.
Ive been an enthusiastic character, reportedly quite satisfied with this honor, describing it as "absolutely fascinating" and how he felt "humble and at the same time sincerely grateful".
