And so began the start of an amazing, decade-long journey together, and with all of you.Įvan’s been so essential to Pinterest’s growth. That idea turned into a product, which we later named Pinterest. I remember thinking: Wow, I want to work with this guy.Įventually, we began talking about building a tool to help you collect the things you love on the internet. He was clearly a builder at heart, which was fitting because he was in architecture school. We talked about our (nerdy) interests, our families, and our hopes for the future. In processing it, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the beginning. So the good news is that he’s not going far away. Here at Pinterest, he will be transitioning into an advisory role and continue serving as a board member. He will be starting an exciting new adventure outside the company (which I’ll let him tell you about!). I write to share some bittersweet news: Evan will be stepping away from his day-to-day work at Pinterest. "I’m thankful for his partnership, leadership and friendship over the past 10 years and grateful that he will continue to support Pinterest as a Board member and in his new role as an advisor." “Evan’s unique talent, vision and passion have been instrumental in building Pinterest into a home of inspiration for hundreds of millions of people around the world," said Pinterest co-founder and CEO Ben Silbermann, also in a statement. I look forward to continuing to partner with Ben and the team at Pinterest on the company’s ambitious evolution into the global platform where creators and merchants inspire people to create a life they love," he added. "After long reflection on how I can best grow my ability to serve, I’ve decided to shift my focus and join Jony Ive and the remarkable creative collective he’s assembled at LoveFrom.
Together we’ve built Pinterest: a technology company and platform that is a positive ‘home of inspiration’ for hundreds of millions of people around the world," said Sharp, in a statement. He spent more than two decades at the tech giant before leaving in 2019, and led the design of the candy-colored iMacs that helped Apple re-emerge from near death in the 1990s as well as the design of the iPhone."Reflecting back over the last decade, I feel filled with gratitude and pride at what our team and our community have achieved. Ive was a close creative collaborator with Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Its clients include home rental company Airbnb Inc and Italian luxury car maker Ferrari.
“LoveFrom is a creative collective”, the firm’s website says. Ive co-founded design firm LoveFrom with fellow designer Marc Newson. He will transition into an advisory role and continue to serve as a board member, the company said in a blogpost. Sharp founded the online scrapbook and photo-sharing platform along with Ben Silbermann, who is the company’s chief executive officer, and Paul Sciarra, who left in 2012. Sharp built Pinterest’s original platform and oversaw its rapid growth in the past decade, and most recently served as the company’s chief design and creative officer. (Reuters) – Pinterest Inc said on Thursday co-founder Evan Sharp is leaving the company to join LoveFrom, a firm led by Jony Ive, the designer of many iconic Apple products.
