Marina Willer

PentagramPartner

Brazilian-born graphic designer and filmmaker Willer came to the UK to study at the Royal College of Art in the mid-90s and has lived in London ever since. She has been an external examiner at the RCA and holds honours with a number of leading design institutions.

In 2012 she became the first female partner at Pentagram London and has since rebranded luxury brand Tiffany & Co, worked on a store design for retailer Cos, a book for Mulberry and the season brand for this year’s London Fashion Week among scores of other projects.

Before Pentagram she had already led rebrands of the Tate and Southbank Centre, as well as creating the Oxfam identity and countless others while she was creative director at Wolff Olins.

Her films have been shown at Foundation Cartier in Paris, the ICA in London and film festivals including Clermont Ferrand and Cannes.

In 2017 she released Red Trees, a documentary telling the story of how hers was one of only 12 Jewish families to survive the Nazi occupation of Prague.
She could never be accused of having a signature style. Her career portfolio is hugely varied and shows an ability to adapt and design to any situation.

Today she is known for this tacit ability as a designer and recognised as a filmmaker who can tell personal and human stories.
