The Woman Who Gave the Macintosh a Smile

Interesting article on the New Yorker site, “The Woman Who Gave the Macintosh a Smile” about Susan Kare who was the designer of the original Mac computer icons back in the 1980s. I didn’t realise she was creative director at Pinterest now.

“But I loved the puzzle-like nature of working in sixteen-by-sixteen and thirty-two-by-thirty-twopixel icon grids, and the marriage of craft and metaphor.”
