VP of Industrial Design (post-Jony Ive era)VP of Industrial Design (post-Jony Ive era)
industrial
Apple's current head of industrial design, appointed VP after Evans Hankey's departure left a leadership gap following Jony Ive's 2019 exit. Associated with Apple ID patents since 2016 and credited on the Apple Pencil Pro and recent MacBook work. Unlike her predecessors she holds less singular authority, reflecting Apple's post-Ive shift from a 'star design director' model to a flatter, platform-driven structure. Surfaced publicly in June 2026 as a juror for Apple's revived 'Designers of Tomorrow' program at Design Miami.Paris, signaling a pivot toward empowering a younger generation of designers.
