Apple design veteran Bart Andre, who came up with Jony Ive and helped lead the design division, is reportedly retiring.
Bart Andre, a veteran Apple designer who came up under Jony Ive, is reportedly departing the tech giant after more than 30 years — the latest in a string of departures on the company’s storied design team.
Andre was one of the last remaining members of Ive’s former team, Bloomberg reported. The group is responsible for the look and feel of Apple’s hardware and software products, and was key to the development of its latest launch, the Apple Vision Pro.
Andre, the designer with the longest tenure who helped lead the team after Ive’s successor Evans Hankey left last year, told colleagues this month that he is retiring, according to the report.
His name has appeared on numerous Apple patents and applications ranging from a membrane-sealed keyboard and computer tower architecture to electronic devices with cooling systems.
