Marianna Czwojdrak Studio

Exploring the intersection of design, digital technologies and geopolitics, Marianna is interested in questioning the impact of emerging technologies on everyday life. Her critical approach intends to provoke a discussion, investigate underlying social and technological changes, and ask questions about what kind of future we want.

Marianna is a designer & researcher who tackles challenges of modern visual languages through graphic design, art direction and strategic thinking. With a strong interest in emerging technologies and paradigm of modernism, she has also gained experience in writing. Despite navigating through such a varied practice research always plays a crucial part in her enquiries, regardless of scale and discipline. In 2019 she co-founded a design and research practice Wunderforma with Mara Trubenbach.
