Apple has announced that its chief design officer and nearly three decade old veteran Jony Ive is leaving the company later this year to form an independent design company that’ll count Apple as a primary client. Ive will continue to work on projects with Apple at his own design firm and will also be able to work with other clients.
Apple’s design team will now be led by Evans Hankey, its vice president of Industrial Design, and Alan Dye, vice president of Human Interface Design. They’ll both report to Apple COO Jeff Williams.
