Rockella began as a group of real estate developers wanting to convert warehouses to art studios in an up-and-coming brooklyn neighborhood. They were tired of being the "landlord"and wanted to change the view of the tenant-landlord relationship.

From concept to execution, I focused on strategy, brand identity, and site design. Rockella transformed from being a real estate entity to being a community that nurtures artistic growth, providing networking opportunities for fellow entrepreneurs, and affordable and flexible spaces for lease. With their new community-centric positioning, Rockella applied for and was awarded space on Governor's Island to participate in an NYC government-funded artist residency program.
