Apple continues to lose senior executives who have been with the company for years. The company, which previously parted ways with famous Apple designer Jony Ive, has now announced that Peter Russell-Clarke has resigned. So who is Peter Russell-Clarke, who has been working at Apple for 20 years?

Why did Peter Russell-Clarke leave Apple?

Apple’s designer of nearly 20 years, Peter Russell-Clarke, has announced that he is leaving the tech giant. Russell-Clark’s new career goal will be the space sector. Accordingly, he announced that he has joined the space technology company Vast as a consultant.

Russell-Clarke’s departure from Apple was confirmed in an announcement by Vast. Working in collaboration with Jony Ive at Apple, Russell-Clarke played a key role in the design of many iconic products, including the iMac, iPod nano, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air. He contributed to more than a thousand Apple patents.

Before joining Apple in 2003, Russell-Clarke founded his own design studio working with big clients like Nike and Swatch. He then decided to cancel his own studio in agreement with Apple.

His role at Vast is unknown for now. However, the blog post said he will advise the company’s industrial design team and offer insights on all aspects of design. Russell-Clarke has made this decision to “pursue his passion projects”.

Russell-Clarke’s departure represents a significant loss at Apple. In 2019, the resignation of names such as Jony Ive, who left the company to found his own design firm LoveFrom, arouses curiosity.
