Happy Winter Olympic Games in Milano Cortina 2026!

Graphic designer and illustrator, Paul Twa, is here and he’s full of insights and passion for Olympic design joy!

In this conversation, we talk all things design systems at Milano Cortina 2026. Paul shares the importance of human gesture, energy, and motion to this system, the unique public vote that took place for the games’ emblem, as well as AI use and its implications. Paul helps us understand what works beautifully and what works less beautifully in this system, as he helps us understand the understory of “the look of the games”.
