《 聚 jù - gather》 In collaboration with Jacky Cao, I designed a sophisticated online presence for Juju Dining, a fine dining Chinese fusion restaurant, encompassing website development, logo creation, and branding within a two-month period, culminating in a seamless reservation system integration before its unfortunate closure due to unforeseen circumstances.
In my design portfolio, one of the standout projects is the comprehensive branding and digital presence I crafted for Juju Dining, a fine dining establishment specializing in Chinese fusion cuisine. Working closely with Jacky Cao, the visionary owner of the restaurant, we embarked on a mission to encapsulate the essence of Juju Dining's innovative culinary approach through a cohesive digital experience.
Website Design and Development - The centerpiece of our collaboration was the design and development of Juju Dining's website. I took charge of the entire design process, ensuring that the website not only served as a digital menu but also as an invitation to experience the artistry of Chinese fusion cuisine. The website's design was carefully curated to mirror the finesse and creativity that Juju Dining's menu offered, with a user-friendly interface that reflected the high standards of the restaurant.
Logo Creation and Branding - Alongside the website, I was responsible for creating the logo and establishing the branding for Juju Dining. The logo I designed was a sophisticated emblem that represented the restaurant's fusion of traditional Chinese elements with modern culinary techniques. The branding extended to include a selection of colors, typefaces, and imagery that conveyed the upscale and inventive nature of Juju Dining's offerings.
Collaboration and Integration - An integral part of the website's functionality was the integration of the Now Book It API, which I implemented following productive meetings with the Now Book It manager. This feature provided a streamlined reservation system, allowing guests to effortlessly book their fine dining experience at Juju Dining.
Project Execution - The entire project, from the initial brainstorming sessions to the final unveiling of the website, was executed within a tight two-month deadline. This swift turnaround was made possible by employing agile project management, fostering a collaborative environment with the restaurant owner, and maintaining a clear focus on the project's objectives.
Regrettably, despite the success of our digital branding efforts and the acclaim of the dining experience, Juju Dining had to close its doors due to unforeseen circumstances. The closure of the restaurant was a significant loss to the culinary scene, but the work we accomplished together remains a showcase of the potential for design and technology to elevate the fine dining experience.
