My life would undoubtably be very different if it were not for Steve Jobs.
I never met the man personally, but he was my design teacher. He taught me to value user experience and simplicity above all else. He inspired me to be a more thoughtful designer, to obsess over details. He showed me that technology does not have to be complicated and cumbersome; it should be fun and full of delight.
I would probably not be a designer if not for Steve Jobs. And Studio Neat would certainly not exist. His influence on my life can not be understated.
Fortunately, there is a simple way I can honor Steve. I can try as hard as I can every day to make something insanely great. Try to do something that will touch someone else’s life. Like he did.
Thank you, Steve. You will be missed.
