05 Gator Bio

Overview

  • My role: Art Director
  • Team: Creative Director, Digital Solutions Director, Front-End Developer; Back-End Developer, Project Manager, Client Services Lead
  • Audience: Lab researchers evaluating instruments 
  • Platform: Marketing site on WordPress

Problem: Gator Bio was looking for a website as unique as its name. In the often forgettable world of lab instrument branding, Gator wanted to stand out.

Solution: Building on the existing logo and color palette, I created a design system that pairs the gator icon with molecule-like shapes. It includes a custom icon set, photo treatment style, and page templates the client's team can reuse. The system carried through the entire site, down to a custom-designed 404 page.

Result: After launch, Gator Bio came back to us for a graphic standards package, giving internal teams and external partners a clear playbook for using the brand consistently.
