Susan Kare

Susan Kare graduated from the Mount Holyoke College in 1975 with a degree in art and graduated from New York University with a masters and a doctoral degree. She became the designer for the user interface and icons for the Macintosh operating system then became the creative director for NeXT, Inc. and then established Susan Kare LLP in 1989. I think it's interesting that sometimes I forget that there are designers who are in charge of creating things for electronics including computer and internet icons. The icons are simple but for the most part you can tell what they're function is.
