Apple Inc loses one of its last remaining designers from Jony Ive era

Peter Russell-Clarke, one of Apple Inc.’s last remaining senior industrial designers from the Jony Ive era, has stepped down after nearly 20 years at the company.

The executive worked on hardware design for Apple’s main products and helped craft the look of its headquarters and retail stores. Russell-Clarke, who left the iPhone maker in October, is now joining space technology company Vast as an adviser. He will help the startup build its own industrial design team, Vast said in a statement Monday.
