I don’t avoid templates just to make things look different.

I avoid flattening a physical brand into a generic digital experience.

A restaurant, studio, fashion label or product can have incredible character in the real world, then lose all of it the moment it becomes a website.

That gap is what interests me.

The website should be able to carry the atmosphere through layout, typography, pacing, motion and interaction, and ideally attract people before they ever experience the physical space.

Not every project needs to be highly expressive.

Some websites should stay simple, direct and functional.

But even simplicity can carry identity.

Bolluni was built with that in mind: translating the character of the restaurant into a digital experience rather than simply presenting information.

Embrace the Creativity.

So well said. That's exactly the problem - a restaurant can have so much soul IRL then become another generic grid online. Love that you don't just avoid templates to be different, but to protect the brand's actual character. 100% agree.

A flower that inflates arrives in the mail. Next month, a phone made of shell.

STILL LIFE SERVICE. Case study dropping soon.

The inflatable flower. Only houseplant I'm guaranteed not to kill. Also, a new object every month is a sneaky good retention hook, people will stay subscribed just to see what's next.
