ARASHI SUSHI

Food, art, and design.

Arashi Sushi was a struggling, local-owned, restaurant in downtown Los Angeles. Their site was years too old and unequipped to handle the modern needs of consumers today. After rebuilding their site from the ground up, they were able to stay in business and continue to thrive today.

Project Overview

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many restaurants, including Arashi Sushi, were largely affected. They did not have an updated website or any means of online ordering. As a result, they reached out to redesign and modernize their 10-year-old website for their restaurant located in Downtown Los Angeles.

My Role

My role in this project was to redesign the website from the ground up and update their asset library by traveling onsite and photographing their featured dishes along with the interior and exterior space.

Goals

The goal was to create a high-end, clean, and refined product to match the sophistication of their restaurant and clientele. An online ordering system also needed to be integrated into the website for pick-up orders and potential dine-in reservations.
