I wanted the website to feel as bold and flavorful as BamBan’s sushi itself, bright, exciting, and impossible to ignore.

This project was inspired by the fusion of cultures at the heart of BamBan Sushi. I wanted to create a digital space that felt as vibrant and flavorful as the food itself, while still being easy to use. By pairing bold colors, playful typography, and a clean layout system, I built a site that not only communicates the restaurant’s personality but also makes the ordering process seamless and enjoyable.

BamBan Sushi blends Dominican vibrancy with Japanese culinary tradition, creating a brand identity that feels fresh, approachable, and full of personality. The goal of this project was to translate that brand essence into a digital platform where customers could easily explore the menu, learn about the restaurant, and place orders online. The website design uses a bold, energetic palette inspired by fresh ingredients and Dominican culture, paired with clean layouts to maintain usability. Typography choices balance playful character with legibility, while imagery and iconography highlight the fusion of flavor and culture at the heart of the brand. Wireframes and prototypes ensured the user journey felt intuitive, fast, and enjoyable.
