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.

Siri now lives in the Dynamic Island! Amazing work by @alexwidua, @mactyler and many more. Super proud of the team!
Feels incredible to share the work we’ve done this year, excited to have been a big part in bringing to life a more powerful and personal Siri.

Steve’s been my manager for my entire 15 year career so far at Apple and I could not be more excited for this new era.
.@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.

Proud to be part of the team behind iOS26. Lots of fun new features like the redesigned text selection loupe. A malleable piece of glass that reacts to your movements and brings your content closer to you.

Thrilled to share the project we’ve been working on for the past year!
Liquid Glass is a flexible material that constantly adapts to its size and environment, and lays the foundation for a unified design language across all our platforms.

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!

"The Dynamic Island feels not merely like a shape or dedicated area at the top of the screen, but like a real thing with personality. I have genuine affection for it already."
So proud of this feature we worked on getting a really positive response.

Excited to see full Drag and Drop come to iPhone, new in iOS 15. It works hand-in-hand with the iPhone’s gestural interface, enabling some super fast ways to move things between apps.
iOS 15 introduces Drag and Drop between apps to the iPhone. Make sure to give it a try! #iOS15
