The more the industry evolves the more it’s confirmed: I am definitely not the best designer. I’m privileged to be surrounded by people who make this clear.

No doubt about it, Jony Ives made a huge impact on the industry. He humanized tech products and defined an era of design. In the next era, I'm more intrigued by his collab with Marc Newson. Will the "fun" side of design come through in next gen tech? https://t.co/zk1OIYV3li

The fashion world "laughs at" industrial designers while Google Glass makes the wearer look like "a bit of an idiot", according to designer Marc Newson
