Legendary designer Marc Newson is joining Apple as senior vice president of design under Jonathan Ive. It’s been said that Newson and Ive have been friends for years and have worked together on several projects, including the 1.5 ton (RED) desk revealed last year. What follows is a sampling of Marc Newson’s design timeline starting with the always-incredible Lockheed Lounge that was designed in 1986.
He started at TechCrunch as a freelance writer in 2008 and moved up the ranks to become the Managing Editor in early 2017. Born and raised in the heart of the automotive world, he has a special place in his heart for mobility startups and gadgets.
At TechCrunch he manages the editorial side of the company’s events including TechCrunch Disrupt, TechCrunch Sessions and the company’s various worldwide events. Previously he was a freelance writer at Engadget and EngadgetHD where he hosted podcasts until he was removed from that role after saying a swear word. He’s very sorry and promises it won’t happen again.
His passions include emails, run-on sentences and following through with action items developed during a conference call. And woodwork.
