Hayai — My UX Portfolio

Hayai is a mobile ordering app created for a modern restaurant that lets users place scheduled orders, place orders for pick-up, and get the best deals to save money through an in-app currency system.

I conducted interviews, surveys, competitive audit and online research to develop an understanding of user pain points when using similar products. 94% of the survey participants are regular users of food ordering apps and they stated that having the option to place scheduled orders is something they would love to have. 60% of the interview participants stated that they would use the in app currency system as they really need to minimize how much they spend on meals daily.

Communication: I found that communication is arguably the most important part of designing a product that serves the need of it’s users. I had a few features at the beginning of this project that I thought would be utilized and understood by users but after testing, asking questions and leaving my biases out of it, I was able to better understand the needs of the users and design for that.

Design: The importance of a design system cannot be overemphasized! I save so much time and was able to effect changes to the design without wasting too much time because I had a design system applied to the entire project that lets me make changes from one component to all it’s variants.
