Challenges

The problem that our app is addressing is individuals would affect their eating habits with take-out food, junk food, or none at all when they are capable of making food at home with ingredients for a more cost-efficient price. With busy schedules, people often prioritize convenience over health, opting for fast food or pre-packaged meals that are quick but lacking in nutritional value. The intimidation of cooking from scratch from younger adults or novice cooks leads them to relying on take out or ready-made meals. People often buy ingredients with good intentions but end up wasting food due to improper portioning or lack of planning.

Roles

UX Designer
Create an intuitive, user-friendly experience that helps address unhealthy eating habits by encouraging home cooking

Goals

Designing a user-friendly interface for diverse users with varying cooking skill levels. The app should curate recipes that are both healthy and quick to prepare, reducing reliance on fast food or take out by providing options tailored to the user’s dietary preferences. Each recipe should be designed to be rich in key nutrients such as fiber, calcium, and protein, supporting a balanced diet. To reduce food waste, the app calculates the exact portion sizes for each recipe, ensuring users buy only what they need.
