.@Apple enters a new chapter in Human Interface Design as Steve Lemay becomes the new leader of the team, working alongside Molly Anderson, head of Industrial Design at Apple. A veteran at the company since 1999, Lemay has shaped every major interface evolution from the original #iPhone to macOS, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS and, most recently, visionOS.
Tim Cook calls him “an extraordinarily high bar for excellence,” noting his depth of understanding in platform technologies and his gift for shaping intuitive, human-centred digital experiences.
With Lemay now at the helm, Apple’s design bench continues to push forward, refining the interactions, systems and visual languages that define the world’s most recognisable devices.
The latest project I’ve been working on is the design of Liquid Glass, alongside an army of designers and engineers. We're designing it to bend and shape light while feeling like an elastic, flexible material that can dynamically shape shift, to make apps feel fluid and organic.
I put together some considerations around designing for Live Activities alongside a beautiful deep dive from @chan_k in the second half on the Dynamic Island.

Feeling grateful to have collaborated with and learned from so many wonderful people and projects over the years. Enjoyed reflecting on these while creating this timeline of my work. Give it a swipe… https://t.co/ddannaDow0
The new project I designed arrives today - the Dynamic Island.
Its goal is to feel like a living, elastic bubble that can fluidly shape shift into different alerts and experiences.
This is just the start, but I’m excited to see it begin its life!
Brilliant creative technologist @jtnimoy has passed away after several years of health issues and homelessness. Please take a moment to enjoy her influential work. https://t.co/fQ20Y6XtUQ
Watch me talk about designing the fluid gestural interface of iPhone X at WWDC18. Also featuring fantastic talks about sculpting dynamic motion with @atnan and designing elegant gestures with @malonso. Hope you enjoy it!
