An HIG Alumni List

by Eric A. Hulteen.
Edited on Friday 24 June 2005.

This page contains the names of everyone (to a close approximation) who ever worked in HIG -- the Human Interface Group at Apple Computer, Inc. The principle source of these names is the "HIG Phone List". This list was compiled from 46 of those documents dated between 3/6/89 and 5/27/94. In addition, I've added the names of people that I know were in HIG prior to the HIG Phone List and, as well, from looking at the annual HIG group photographs (see below).

I've tried to err on the side of being too inclusive rather than restrictive. As a result, the list includes interns, contractors, visiting scholars, and some temps. If there's someone you think should be on or off this list then send me email.
