My favorite experience as a designer, and the inspiration for attending graduate school for an MBA, this chocolate shop blended a unique touch of Southwestern Culture and Middle-Eastern aesthetics. Working with the business owner from inception, I took on the role of designer, marketer, brand champion, and chocolate enthusiast. The concept was to use middle-eastern geometries as the aesthetic language, but the colors and imagery would invoke Southwestern cultural vibes. This identity along with uniquely mastered cacao making created the award winning chocolate brand known as Bate Bate.
