Pinterest Inc. co-founder Evan Sharp is stepping down from the company and plans to join LoveFrom, the design firm founded by former Apple Inc. executive Jony Ive.

Sharp is Pinterest’s chief design and creative officer, and as co-founder, sits on the board of directors. He has overseen the product and design teams for the digital search and scrapbooking platform since 2011, according to a company filing, and has an ownership stake that gives him about a 6% of Pinterest’s voting control.
