How it started

Creating a restaurant from scratch with the owner of Taj Ali was a great experience and it allowed me to strengthen my skills in UX/UI as well as graphic design. Through the many challenges we faced, we were able to increase our sales by 70-80% by the first three months of our opening day. I worked on designs ranging from small things like social media adverts, and flyers, all the way to the menu and website itself. In this project, I am going to share with you some of the designs I created to boost this businesses revenue and eventually lead them to opening their second branch.

The Challenge

Like I mentioned before, we experienced many challenges in the beginning. This was way more than just a design job for me, as I had to look over the businesses finances, customer demographics, and figure out solutions to complex issues in a short manner. This lead me to thinking, "How can my designs change the business?" I wondered how much power professional design had on a business.

Reflections

This project was an invaluable opportunity to apply UX/UI design principles in a real-world setting, contributing to a product that promotes social connectivity and culinary exploration. It challenged me to think creatively about how to meet user needs and preferences, enhancing my skills in research, design, and collaboration. The experience underscored the importance of user feedback in the design process and the impact of thoughtful design on user engagement and satisfaction.
