The New York Botanical Garden
Nestled in the heart of New York, the New York Botanical Garden is not just a verdant oasis spanning 250 acres, but also a remarkable place to work, offering unique moments of tranquility and inspiration. As a web designer, I had the privilege of contributing to diverse projects that aimed to capture the garden's natural beauty and scientific importance, enhancing the visitor's online experience. Strolling through this living museum during breaks, capturing the essence of rare plant collections and enchanting landscapes with my camera, enriched my creativity and directly influenced my design work. The garden's historic glasshouses, cascading waterfalls, and thematic gardens provided a serene backdrop that rejuvenated the soul, making every workday an opportunity to explore the seamless blend of nature's artistry with technological innovation and conservation. See some of my work below to explore how the beauty of the New York Botanical Garden was captured thru my designs.
Adult Education
As the entire site was being revamped, the adult education section needed a makeover and I was assigned to work on it.
The New York Botanical Garden's Adult Education program offers hundreds of daytime and evening classes to educate, inspire and guide their students. With ten different disciplines to choose from, students are likely to find suitable classes for them.
Edible Academy
For nearly one hundred years, the garden has been a leader in garden based education for teachers and school kids from the Bronx and throughout the New York Metropolitan region. The demand for the edible gardening's programs has never been greater. In order to meet this demand, the Botanical Garden launched The Edible Academy, which will expand opportunities so more kids, parents and instructors can learn how to grow their own fruits and vegetables.
Arts in the Garden
Throughout the year The New York Botanical Garden is home to many exhibitions and a wide number of events. Most of them get archived within the main site and there isn't any link to them after the exhibition is over, unless performing a query for the specific event. While working at the Botanical Garden, I was asked to design a few templates for a micro-site to showcase such events. As always keeping in mind the already existing brand of The New York Botanical Garden and bound by their headers and footers. Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator were used to complete this task.
