Apple 首席設計師 Jony Ive 確定出走並開設個人設計公司
未來仍會與 Apple 密切合作。
Apple 首席設計師(Chief Design Officer) Jony Ive 於 1997 年因 Steve Jobs 的回歸而受到重用,兩人一同合作並奠定了 Apple 璀璨的未來;20 餘年過去了,Jony Ive 依舊與新執行長 Tim Cooks 領航著 Apple 持續邁進。不過時至今日,根據 Apple 官方新聞稿指出,Jony Ive 確定將於今年底離開 Apple,並開設個人設計公司 LoveFrom。不過,Tim Cook 表示 Apple 未來依舊會與 Jony Ive 保持密切的合作關係,開設新的獨立項目。
Jony Ive 表示自己奮鬥了近 30 年,成功在 Apple 打造了他人無法比擬的團隊,並建構出一套流程與文化,以上貢獻令他十分自豪。就算他離開了,他仍對夥伴們保持強大的信心,且依然是最為要好的朋友們,以下為原文聲明:
“After nearly 30 years and countless projects, I am most proud of the lasting work we have done to create a design team, process and culture at Apple that is without peer. Today it is stronger, more vibrant and more talented than at any point in Apple’s history,” said Ive. “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.”
