The work

What we are celebrating, specifically.

  • Conceived the Macintosh as a low-cost, high-utility, radically friendly appliance computer, chose its name, and wrote the project's founding mission document.
  • Championed human-centered design at Apple, arguing for simplicity over complexity long before it was fashionable.
