Women in STEM History – Susan Kare

Todays Woman in STEM history is Susan Kare. She is a graphic designer who has been instrumental in building the online world we live in today, though I never knew about her until today. She designed the original Macintosh Icons in 1983 including the save icon, the watch, the trash bin and many more. She went on to design for Microsoft, Facebook and now Pinterest.  There’s a New Yorker article here that’s very good if you want to know more or you can simply go to her own website to see which pieces of her work you’ve known about, but not known about, for years.
