Timeline

My Role

Website and Brand Designer
4 months (2024)

From prestige built on word-of-mouth to a refined digital presence

✧ Background

Culinary Excellence is a luxury catering and event planning brand built on reputation and word-of-mouth.
To broaden its reach and engage a younger audience, I redesigned the website with a more user-focused and sophisticated experience, aiming to strengthen the brand’s presence and drive sales.

✧ Problems

✧ Design Goals

Establish a consistent visual identity with modern typography, refined colors, and a clear logo.

⋆ Cohesive Branding

⋆ Enhanced Visual Hierarchy

Organize content, images, and calls-to-action to guide users naturally.

⋆ Improved Readability

Simplify text hierarchy and layout for effortless scanning and navigation.

Elevate the overall aesthetic to reflect the luxury and professionalism of the brand.

⋆ Modern, Sophisticated Look

✧ Redesign Process

✴︎ Moodboard

✴︎ Wireframes

I started the redesign by crafting a moodboard to capture the brand’s luxury, sophistication, and modern aesthetic. It guided choices for color palettes, typography, imagery, and overall tone.

Next, I created wireframes to structure the layout and visual hierarchy, focusing on intuitive navigation, clear content flow, and responsive design. These low-fidelity sketches allowed me to iterate quickly before moving to high-fidelity designs.
