According to Nothing, Bates’s initial focus will be the launch of the company’s first design hub in London.

‘I’m looking forward to working with the Nothing team and founding partners Teenage Engineering, whom I’ve long admired, to achieve its vision of bringing people and technology closer together,’ said Bates. ‘My mission at this early stage is to build a team and develop a design culture so we can create iconic products that will change the consumer-tech landscape.’
