The Artist Who Built Computers

Steve Jobs didn’t see himself as just a tech guy—he saw himself as an artist. His products weren’t just functional; they were beautiful. Think about the iPhone: sleek, intuitive, and revolutionary.

Where did this obsession with aesthetics come from?
Jobs once said, “Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

This focus on design wasn’t random. His father, Paul Jobs, taught him to care about even the hidden parts of a project. As a kid, Jobs worked on electronics with his dad and learned:

• Craftsmanship matters, even if no one else notices.

• Make it beautiful inside and out.
