MUBI LAB
Designing a Cinematic Identity

Pablo is Creative Director at MUBI, the global streaming service, production company, and film distributor. He runs a multi-talented team of video editors and designers developing a broad variety of assets: trailers, posters, brand campaigns and promotional items for multiple markets worldwide as well as Notebook, the printed publication, now in Issue 9.

Before joining MUBI in March 2019, he founded the award-winning studio Atlas with Astrid Stavro in 2012 and was recognised with the Spanish National Design and Innovation Award in 2013, the highest honour of the design profession. He has over 35 years of working at the forefront of international design, producing brand identities, visual communication systems, signage and packaging. He is globally renowned for his work on newspaper and magazine design.

Pablo led the design firm Grafica with Fernando Gutiérrez, the most influential design studio in Spain for over two decades. Pablo was a typography teacher for more than fifteen years and has lectured all over the world. He has judged and chaired some of the most prestigious design competitions including D&AD, SPD and the Spanish Laus Awards, of which he has also been awarded on multiple occasions. He is a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI).

Originally from Barcelona, Spain he studied graphic design at Eina School of Design and at the start of his career worked for Mario Eskenazi and Vignelli Associates in New York. He speaks five languages including his home tongue Spanish, Catalan, French, Italian and English.

Michelle is a London-based editor and creative, and Head of Creative at MUBI. She joined the company in 2020 as an editor cutting trailers for the platform, and now leads a global in-house team of 34 designers, editors, and producers. Coming from a background in editing rather than design, she leads through story and craft, building the systems and creative direction that carry MUBI’s bold, independent filmmaking to audiences worldwide across streaming, theatrical, print, and beyond.

Alongside her work at MUBI, Michelle is co-founder of Other People, a production company dedicated to bringing rigorous, original visions to the screen. She holds an M.A. in Filmmaking from the London Film School. At Other People, she co-produced Siyabonga (We Are Thankful), directed by Joshua Magor, which screened in official competition at the Locarno Film Festival. In 2024 she was selected for the TIFF x CJ K-Story Fund, a programme supporting emerging Korean-American writer-directors.
