Kare runs a design company called Susan Kare User Interface Graphics which is based in a studio in San Francisco, California. She appears to specialise in designing icons using mainly pixels in an 8 bit manner, that similar to the works of eBoy. Susan Kare is "a pioneering & influential computer iconographer. Since 1983, Katre has designed thousands of icons for the world's leading software companies. Utilzing a minimalist grid of pixels & constructed with mosaic-like precision, her icons communicate their function & memorably, with wit & style." as quoted by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Her career started off at Apple, Inc. where she was in charge of designing screen graphics & was a digital typographer for Macintosh computers. Of course this was a brilliant oppurtunity to showcase how much clarity her work holds & was a great way to promote her skills. It was a very rare ocassion is she was asked to re-design her work due to her habit of using extreme precision within her work.
