BioBAT Art Space

Creative Strategy | Brand Identity | Collateral Design
BioBAT Art Space is a NYC gallery at the Brooklyn Army Terminal focusing on the intersection of art, science, and technology. Its mission is to foster innovation and provide educational and professional development opportunities to nurture creativity in the local community and beyond.

I am using BioBAT as a case study to develop an impactful communication system for a cultural institution. After doing extensive field research and identifying opportunities, I am creating a cohesive brand strategy and cross-platform design system that speaks to BioBAT’s audience and programming needs.
