Design × systems × implementation
Leslie Tannor.
UI/UX designer in progress and Enterprise Support Engineer, bringing technical implementation experience to clear, considered digital products.
Selected real work
Three products, each with its own visual logic.
Three distinct visual worlds, built around three different user needs. Move through the collection, then open any project for its complete design story.
Case study breakdown
Restaurant Brand Website
Akwaaba House
I shaped Akwaaba House to feel like the digital version of walking into a premium Ghanaian dining space: warm, intentional, polished, and easy to trust. The experience leans on deep green and gold tones, confident typography, and rich imagery so the atmosphere does as much work as the copy.
What I wanted the user to feel
I wanted visitors to feel welcomed immediately, but also reassured that the brand was premium, culturally grounded, and worth exploring further.
Why I designed it this way
That is why the hero is spacious, the type is editorial, and the layout avoids clutter. For a hospitality product, mood and appetite matter, so I let the imagery breathe and gave the primary actions clear visual priority.
UX decisions I prioritised
I broke the journey into story, space, highlights, menu, people, and contact so users can either browse at leisure or move directly toward a booking decision. The structure balances emotional storytelling with conversion clarity.
Live website laboratory
The designs move from case study to working website.
Reveal the desktop workspace to browse each live site in place. On smaller screens, direct project actions keep the experience fast and usable.
Working principles
A calm process for complex digital problems.
I connect visual decisions to interaction, implementation, and the person using the product.
Start with purpose.
Each section should feel designed with purpose, not just stacked on the page.
Connect design and implementation.
I want my UI/UX transition to show that I understand how design meets implementation.
Refine the complete experience.
The experience should feel premium, responsive, and memorable from the first scroll.
Experience
Design thinking grounded in technical reality.
Support engineering, practical web work, and a growing UI/UX practice shape how I approach digital products.
Enterprise Support Engineer
I work closely with complex systems, technical issues, and user-facing problem solving. That gives me a strong product-awareness foundation.
Freelance Web Work
I have already built websites for real audiences, which gives me practical perspective beyond purely visual design exercises.
Next Step
This portfolio is now being shaped to position me more clearly for UI/UX and product design opportunities.
