A recipe application allowing users to explore a diverse range of culinary options
Tool Used
Project Overview
This recipe application allows users to explore a diverse range of culinary options. Users can research recipes based on cuisine type, allergies, beverage pairings, and cultural preferences. The app provides an audio feature where the user can listen to the recipe and share it with others. If the user likes the recipe, they can save it for the future as well.
My Role
UX/UI Designer and Researcher.
My Responsibilities
I conducted user interviews to determine the problems users face while preparing meals with busy schedules. I created a user persona, problem statement, and created lofi wireframes and the final design.
Problem Statement
Users struggle to find time saving recipes in other apps. Other apps lack variety and flexibility.
Goals
Design an app that:
Allows user to explore a variety of recipe options from different cultures. Provides affordable options to everyone. Allows users to prepare meals according to their dietary restrictions.

User Interviews
Here are some of the user interview questions I asked. I interviewed 6 users.
EMPATHIZE: USER RESEARCH
Understanding the User
The aim of conducting user research is to understand the user requirements while following the recipe app's instructions. Learning what problems they often face while preparing the meals, what common problems they face while using existing apps, and what features they want to have in a new app. Also, I aimed to understand the needs of the user to enhance the user experience.
