Best next moves
Review Lars Ewell's public portfolio or personal site
A portfolio would be the fastest way to confirm that the Apple career path and design work belong to the same person.
Check the Instagram candidate ewell_lars for shared photos or bio links
This is the strongest adjacent non-LinkedIn candidate, but it still needs a real cross-link before you treat it as the same person.
Check the X/Twitter candidate ewell_lars for cross-platform identity signals
The handle and name fit, but there is no biographical proof yet. A shared link, avatar, or posting pattern would matter here.
Exclude the Facebook profile that mentions University of Michigan
That profile conflicts with the Apple and SUNY Oneonta context, so it is probably a different Lars Ewell rather than the target.
