Co-founder of Apple & Pioneer of the Digital Age
Born: February 24, 1955 — San Francisco, California
Steve Jobs was the visionary co-founder of Apple Inc., one of the most valuable companies ever created. He transformed personal computing, music, phones, and digital publishing — shaping the modern world in extraordinary ways.
Jobs grew up in Silicon Valley, California. He had a curious mind and a fierce determination to make things beautiful and useful. He briefly attended Reed College and taught himself calligraphy, which later influenced Apple’s beautiful fonts.
In 1976, Jobs co-founded Apple with Steve Wozniak in a garage. Their Apple II computer helped bring personal computing to everyday homes. The Macintosh in 1984 introduced the visual interface used by nearly all computers today.
After leaving Apple for a time, he founded Pixar Animation Studios, which made beloved films like Toy Story and Finding Nemo. When he returned to Apple, he led the creation of the iMac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad.
Jobs believed deeply in the intersection of technology and the arts. He once said: ‘Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.’
