The challenge
Present a family food business as more than a menu. The site needed to communicate where the recipe came from, why it matters, and what makes the experience memorable.

RUFF Pepper Shrimp
A responsive brand experience rooted in Jamaica, family memory, flavor, and the story behind the food.My role
I shaped the visual direction and built the responsive frontend, combining the product, family story, and Jamaican influence into one cohesive experience.
Technical approach
The page uses strong editorial sections, intentional image placement, and responsive type to guide visitors through the story. Components are organized around content rather than generic page blocks.
Hardest problem
The hardest part was balancing atmosphere with clarity. I refined the hierarchy so the visuals build emotion while the business and product remain easy to understand.
Result
The final experience gives the brand its own voice and makes its origin story a central part of the product instead of an afterthought.
What I learned
I learned to treat content and visual identity as part of the interface architecture, especially when a project depends on authenticity and personal history.
