Mario S. Aguilar, Principal and Founder of The Pensery, has an insatiable curiosity about the world at large, the world of design, and the inflection points where those two worlds meet. His deep interest in diverse cultures and new ideas inspires him to create work that positions his clients’ brands in a relevant, modern, way; resonates with their target audiences; and creates a memorable presence across all media.

Prior to launching The Pensery, Mario was a Partner at New York City’s Bernhardt Fudyma Design Group, where he provided creative leadership and visual solutions for some of the world’s most trusted brands, including American Express, Wiley & Sons Publishing, and the Associated Press. His work has been recognized by AIGA, Communication Arts, Working Not Working, People of Craft, Graphic Design USA, Graphis, and the American Advertising Federation.

Oh, and in case you’re wondering: In a nod to Mario’s El Paso roots, the studio name comes from the Spanish word for thinking, “pensar”. Which is what Mario and his team at The Pensery are always doing.
