our expertise

visualizing complexity

In a world where we are constantly surrounded by information, clear communication is key. We make sure your audience can effortlessly find and focus on your message by making it clear and engaging. At MARI, we use information design not only to make content more beautiful, but also to make it easier to interpret by giving it meaning and structure. We use design thinking, a creative and human-centered problem-solving process, to address complex and ambiguous challenges.

Our Studio

MARI Designstudio is a dynamic collective of multidisciplinary professionals currently based in Chicago, founded in 2018 by Austrian information designer Mariella Marx. She is a certified designer with an MBA and a background in science gained through working with research organizations, healthcare companies, and tech startups.

Our Focus

We are committed to making scientific research more tangible and accessible. What sets us apart is that we not only speak the language of design and traditional marketing, but also that of science. This allows us to turn common marketing tools into scientific communication tools. An extensive discovery phase is key to our work, as we consider a deep understanding of the research topic essential for a design that is both functional and aesthetic.

Our Mission

Our goal is to create positive impact through design by empowering today’s „game changers“ to create a better future. We believe that the true value of design emerges when it is placed in a strategic context. That’s why we strive to apply both our creative and analytical skills to each of our projects.
