Jon Marshall, industrial designer and partner at Pentagram, visits the studio to discuss the importance of trusting the process, the experience of moving from a designer to a creative director role, and the pleasures of seemingly intractable design problems.


Jon's picks for his crit were:

Best design: Honda. A Great Journey

Worst design: Exhibition design for UNIQLO

Most successful design: Yoto

Most impactful feedback: Daniel Weil telling him to trust the process (and all feedback from his wife)

Dream design: A range of cookware inspired by Richard Sapper’s La Cintura di Orione for Alessi
