Apple Designer Behind iPhone Air Is Joining the AI Startup Hark

The former Apple Inc. designer who helped create the iPhone Air is joining AI startup Hark, part of a push by that company to attract Silicon Valley talent.

Apple veteran Abidur Chowdhury will become head of design, according to Hark founder and Chief Executive Officer Brett Adcock, who also runs the robotics startup Figure AI. In its bid to staff up, Hark has lured engineers from Alphabet Inc.’s Google, Meta Platforms Inc. and Amazon.com Inc., he said.
