Pioneer Labs
Pioneer Labs is a biotech research nonprofit that operates like an agile startup out of San Fransisco. I was responsible for creating (1) a visual identity that captures the joy and grit that drives their team and research, and (2) an eye-catching website with the foundation to easily expand the site as the organization grows.
Out Of This World
Pioneer Labs’ mission is to engineer microbes to survive in space and on Mars, thereby creating the possibility for self-sustaining biodiversity in new reaches. They are creating pioneer species to thrive where space technology has transported equipment, but never life.
Child me was pretty floored with this ask. Make a beautiful brand and website that captures the beauty and wonder of natural life at its extremes, for a company making science for outer space (with benefits for Earth in the process). Cool!
Pioneer species are resilient species that are the first to colonize barren environments. The dandelion, represented here with astral symbols, is a pioneer species that is one of the first to re-cultivate areas that have been harmed by natural disasters.
