WASHINGTON, D.C. / ACCESS Newswire / May 13, 2026 / The White House today announced Peter Arnell as the first-ever Chief Brand Architect of the United States, a founding role within the National Design Studio.
Arnell will serve as Chief Brand Architect to Joe Gebbia, U.S. Chief Design Officer, working in direct partnership to accelerate the President’s Executive Order 14338: “Improving Our Nation Through Better Design”.
Widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost brand architects, Arnell brings 45 years of experience creating and transforming global brands, corporations, and institutions across technology, automotive, healthcare, consumer products, fashion, and sports, as well as major public and nonprofit organizations including the Special Olympics and the FDNY Foundation.
As Chief Brand Architect for the nation, Arnell will define and unify how the nation expresses itself-aligning identity, systems, and experience into one coherent whole. The role is designed to strengthen trust at home while enhancing the global position, perception, and competitiveness of the United States of America.
He will lead the strategic and creative development of a unified design and brand system for the U.S., ensuring that every interaction with government is clear, consistent, and built for the American people.
Working within the National Design Studio, Arnell will help reimagine how the United States of America designs, communicates, and delivers its identity and services by:
* Establishing a cohesive national brand architecture
* Modernizing public access across more than 27,000 government websites
* Advising federal agencies on communication, design, and user experience
* Accelerating adoption of key national initiatives at scale, including the new Dietary Guidelines and TrumpRx
This appointment reflects a broader national priority: that the United States of America will lead not only through policy and power, but also through clarity, design excellence, and strength of identity.
