Incredibly well deserved. If we all learn one thing from Sir Jony Ive, it's that simplicity wins out every single time.

Really happy to see him get mainstream recognition, because he truly should be up there with all the other well-known genius Brit's like Branson and Dyson.

Its worth pointing out that Sir Jonathan went to a Further Education College and then a Polytechnic, and then went on to start his own small design agency?

This is an excellent example to others including my own students some of whom are on design courses here in the UK.
