[Sigia-l] "Be the Next Jonathan Ive"

[Listera]

Q -- What do companies expect when hiring design talent?

A -- The big trend right now is the search for designer as turnaround agent,
or design savior. These are designers who think strategically and speak the
language of business, in addition to being incredibly talented. In the past
two years, more companies have come to us asking for a VP of design or a
creative/design director who can give them a personality -- an instantly
recognizable visual language for their products. They actually say, "Find me
a Jonathan Ive [Apple's VP of design]," but they call him "Jonathan Ives."
