the studio

Pentagram is a multi-disciplinary, independently owned design studio. Work encompasses graphics and identity, strategy and positioning, products and packaging, exhibitions and installations, websites and digital experiences, advertising and communications, data visualizations and typefaces, sound and motion. Twenty-four partners are all practicing designers, working collaboratively or independently in friendship. Structure is unique: Pentagram is the only major design studio where owners of business are creators of work and serve as primary contact for every client. This reflects conviction that great design cannot happen without passion, intelligence, and personal commitment, demonstrated by portfolio spanning five decades, many industries, and clients of every size. Partners include leading designers across offices in New York, London, Austin, Berlin, and San Francisco, maintaining independence and creative excellence through unique partnership model where working designers own and operate the studio.

The Talk

More Human Than Ever

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH

In times of AI, human insight is more important than ever. Whether you work with AI or not, creativity is having mindset of experimentation.

Marina Willer explores how she uses unusual processes of work to create work that is original and always different. Drawing from career leading major brand identities for Rolls Royce Motor-Cars, Tate, Amnesty International, and designing most-visited Design Museum exhibitions (Ferrari: Under the Skin, Stanley Kubrick), Marina reveals creative approach prioritizing human intuition over predictable formulas. As filmmaker whose Red Trees premiered Cannes and released worldwide by Netflix, she demonstrates how crossing disciplines—from graphic design to filmmaking to exhibition design—keeps work fresh and unexpected. For designers navigating AI-saturated landscape, Marina's talk offers alternative: embrace experimentation, trust unusual processes, pursue originality through human insight. Because technology may generate options, but creativity requires mindset willing to explore unfamiliar territory. In era of artificial intelligence, Marina argues, being more human than ever means staying curious, experimental, and committed to creating work that could only come from lived experience and intentional creative choices.
