The MIND Center is a national leader in Alzheimer’s research and clinical care. Using neuron imagery as inspiration, Kiyomi designed a 57-ft entry wall to denote the organization’s brand, communicate their mission/vision, and honor their generous donors. Subtle background colors work in harmony with the surrounding environment, while bold colors based on brain scans draw attention to the donor wall. Light is used in the square entry sign and stained glass portrait of Gertrude C. Ford. Donor names are etched and painted onto fused glass ovals that can be moved or added as needed.
Kiyomi is an award-winning creative studio based in Jackson, MS, dedicated to crafting outstanding books and exhibitions that provide meaningful and transformative experiences for its clients and their audiences.
Founded in 2013 by Heidi Flynn Barnett and Robin C. Dietrick, Kiyomi provides design, editorial, curatorial, and project management services for publications and/or environments.
