Ember & Oak — Fine Dining Website
Designed and developed a premium restaurant website concept for Ember & Oak, focused on creating an immersive digital experience around fine dining, culinary storytelling, and ambience.
The goal was to make the website feel like an introduction to the restaurant itself — from discovering its story and signature dishes to exploring the space and reserving a table.
What I focused on:-
-Premium fine-dining visual direction
-Strong editorial-style typography and layout
-Immersive hero section
-Restaurant story and brand positioning
-Curated menu presentation with pricing
-Categorized food and drink sections
-Ambience and interior showcase
The experience is designed to take visitors through the restaurant's identity, cuisine, atmosphere, and ultimately towards making a reservation.
Built as a sample website concept for a premium fine-dining restaurant.

Just wrapped up a new case study: The Pretty Bar Web Design and Development Project
When a luxury salon’s digital entry point broke (unreachable domain) and their booking flow was split across Treatwell and Fresha, they were losing valuable organic traffic and client trust.
I built a high-converting, single-page web app to give them 100% brand ownership and a seamless booking experience.
Key Highlights:
🔹 Dual-Booking Hub: Direct CTAs for both Treatwell & Fresha
🔹 Bilingual (EN / EL): Instant toggle for local Athens residents & international visitors
🔹 Luxury Dark Mode: Custom HSL palette, soft glassmorphism & Three.js ambient aura lighting
🔹 Social Proof Integration: Showcasing 4.8★ rating & 2,200+ verified customer reviews
🔹 Tech Stack: Built with Next.js 16 (Turbopack), React 19, Tailwind CSS v4 & Framer Motion
Check out the full case study with section breakdowns, screenshots, and tech stack details here 👉: The Pretty Bar Web Design and Development Project
Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.
The hero section is doing exactly what it should. I’m hooked.
Two directions for this hero section.
Which one's winning for you, v1 or v2?

Both are strong! I like the subtle detailing in V2.
But I guess the liquid background of V1 feels extra immersive.
I don't want to stay with 1 design style.
Same design but with different vibe 🔥
