Apple Inc’s vice president for industrial design, Evans Hankey, is leaving the company, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people with knowledge of the matter.
Hankey took over the role in 2019 after famed Apple designer Jony Ive moved out. Apple launched iPhone 12 through iPhone 14 models and M1 MacBooks while Hankey headed industrial design.
An Apple representative said in a statement that “Apple’s design team brings together expert creatives from around the world and across many disciplines to imagine products that are undeniably Apple. The senior design team has strong leaders with decades of experience. Evans plans to stay on as we work through the transition, and we’d like to thank her for her leadership and contributions.”
Hankey worked closely with Alan Dye, who was in charge of the look and feel of Apple’s software, and who will remain at the company, according to Bloomberg News.
Hankey’s LinkedIn page could not be reached to verify her history with Apple.
