Chief Design Officer Jony Ives formally checks out of Apple’s design team. The name has been removed from the leadership page of Apple. He was the master mind design engineer behind iPhone, iPad, iMac, iPod. The news that Jony Ives will leave the company had broken in June this year. It marks the end of an era and also start of a new one. The leadership of design team would be taken up by Evans Hankey (Vice President, Industrial Design) and Alan Dye (Vice President, User Interface Design).
Jony Ives has been the key behind the success of Apple. He joined Apple in 1992 and lead the design team from 1996. Jony had worked with Apple alongside Steve Jobs for more than 2 decades. During his tenure Ive had laid the foundation of various popular products of Apple which became the identity of the company. The products were iPhone, iPad, iMac, iMac and also the new Spaceship program by Apple was lead by Ives.
Ives has his unique identity in the design world. His contribution towards the revival of Apple Inc cannot be neglected at any time. He is going to start his own design firm named LoveFrom. Apple would be the most important client for LoveFrom.
“The team will certainly thrive under the excellent leadership of Evans, Alan and Jeff, who have been among my closest collaborators. I have the utmost confidence in my designer colleagues at Apple, who remain my closest friends, and I look forward to working with them for many years to come,” Ive had said while annoncing the news of his exit earlier this year.
