"Apple just lost a top design talent. Meta has hired Alan Dye, who was the head of Apple's human interface design team. The company is filling his position with Stephen Lemay, who CEO Tim Cook told Bloomberg "has played a key role in the design of every major Apple interface since 1999." Before being poached by Meta to become its chief design officer, Dye worked at Apple since 2006, where he oversaw projects including Liquid Glass and Vision Pro."
"By the end of his tenure, Dye reported directly to Cook. His departure is the latest in a game of musical chairs for top design roles at Apple. Apple's former longtime chief design officer Jony Ive left the company in 2019, and his replacement, Evans Hankey, left in 2022 and wasn't replaced. On the org chart, the remaining members of Apple's industrial design team reported to COO Jeff Williams."
Meta hired Alan Dye as chief design officer to create a new design studio overseeing hardware, software, and AI integration for interfaces. Dye led Apple's human interface design team since 2006, reported directly to Tim Cook, and oversaw projects including Liquid Glass and Vision Pro. Apple filled Dye's position with Stephen Lemay, credited with contributions to every major Apple interface since 1999. Dye's departure continues turnover at Apple's top design ranks after Jony Ive and Evans Hankey left. Meta's hire positions Dye to compete with former colleagues and firms building next-generation AI-driven user interfaces.
