Susan Kare

Susan's work has been at your fingertips for decades, but she has rarely reflected publicly about it. Susan is an artist and graphic designer and pioneer of pixel art who created many of the interface elements for the Apple Mac in the 1980’s as a key member of the Mac design team, and she continued as Creative Director at NeXT with Steve Jobs. Her touch gave these revolutionary machines a friendly, inviting, humanistic-yet-digital allure — perfect to usher in a new digital renaissance. She continues her digital design practice in San Francisco, when not joyfully pursuing her hobby: surfing.
