Lang Baan Website
YEAR: 2015
The Client: Lang Baan is an award-winning Thai restaurant in Portland, Oregon.
My role on this project: UX/UI Design, Discovery Research, Visual Design
Project Objective: Lang Baan was voted the “2014 Restaurant of the Year” by Portland Monthly Magazine. It was experiencing a huge period of growth following this well-deserved bit of press, and owner Earl Ninsom needed a website that could keep up with the needs of his diners and restaurant staff.
The new website's job was to present the restaurant's uniqueness, make the menus easily accessible, streamline the process of booking reservations, and save time by simplifying his staff's workflow.
Wireframes
These are a couple of my hand drawn wireframes from the planning phase of this project.
Mood Boards
The mood boards consisted of photos I took of the restaurant's interior. The intention was to create an impression of how dining at Lang Baan feels, & these photos inspired the visual design.
