Thanks Steve!

Design

Steve Jobs has been an incredible influential individual to our lives, and especially to our jobs. Thanks to his vision and his drive he made people love, and be proud of, something that before was grey and hidden under our desks.

The industry, us included, will miss you. Good bye Steve!
