Illustrations and menu design for a new restaurant. Original artwork that captures the brand’s personality and atmosphere, featuring a unique design and bespoke characters.
Love the illustrations! ✨
Thank you!
Ye le Jani:
These bespoke characters bring Giorgio's to life! Such warm, vibrant storytelling through illustration. Makes you feel the atmosphere before even visiting! ✨
These characters are full of life. The warm oranges and the busy table scenes make Giorgio's feel like somewhere you'd walk into on a Friday night. Did the client brief you on the characters, or did you develop them from scratch?
The crowded scenes have so much life. Menu feels like a story, not just a list.

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.

What if a restaurant website felt like walking in?
I wanted to try something different with IMPALA.
Instead of making another restaurant website that simply shows the menu, location and a few photos, I wanted the website itself to carry some of the feeling of being inside the restaurant.
Warm visuals, immersive storytelling, subtle interactions, and a menu experience that feels a little different.
One of my favourite parts is the menu instead of presenting dishes as a typical grid of cards, I designed them around a playing-card inspired interaction, where the menu unfolds and reveals each dish in a more tactile way.
The idea was pretty simple:
Don’t just show the restaurant. Make people feel it.
Designed and built for IMPALA across desktop and mobile.
How did you guys like it?
Drop your thoughts in the comments I’d genuinely love to hear them.
