Teen years and discovering design

You may not know his name, but you certainly know his work. Sir Jony Ive is the former chief design officer for Apple, and the mastermind behind devices most cannot imagine living without—the Macbook, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, AirPods and more. He joined Apple at just 25 years old, and together with Steve Jobs, transformed what was a financially troubled company into a juggernaut. These are his seven songs.

2. Main Theme / Carter Takes a Train–  Roy Budd
3. Papa Was a Rollin’ Stone –The Temptations
4. Don't You (Forget About Me) – Simple Minds
5. Define Dancing – Thomas Newman

7. This Is The Day – Ivy
