Apple’s Chief Design officer, Jony Ive, announced his resignation recently. The impact of his departure should be a lesson for ambitious professionals. In what way?
Who is Jony? He is the mastermind behind the design of the iPhone, the iPad, the Apple Watch, the Mac and the iPod. Simple put, Jony does remarkable work.
