David Pybas, a designer at The Wall Street Journal for more than 20 years who was involved in at least four redesigns of the paper, is leaving.

Pybas posted on Facebook that Wednesday was his last day at the paper.

“I want to thank all the people out there who made it such a challenging, and great, place to work,” said Pybas.

Pybas was involved in the redesigns of the Europe and Asian editions Mario Garcia in 1999. He also did the redesign of the Money and Investing section for The Journal in 2002, and changed the European and Asian editions to tabloid with Garcia and James Reyman in 2005. He also redesigned WSJ with Garcia and Reyman in 2006.

More recently, Pybas was the Page One art director from 2006 to 2012, a time period that included the financial crisis, Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Fukushima, and Obama’s election.
