The scope of the project was to identify and distinguish a way to help people access healthy recipes and enjoy different cuisines from around the world while utilizing little energy Food inflation increased by 0.9% in Miami. In addition, the energy prices surged in 12 months to 4.2% hence increasing the services for gas at 8.4% and electricity prices at 3.8%. These costs are placing pressure on the people's finances and causing individuals to make deplorable eating habits within the average household

The best solution to resolve this problem will be to develop an app that allows people to access cost-efficient, yet healthy recipes, while utilizing small amounts of energy

My Role: UX/UI Designer

Tools: Pencil, paper, Figma

I generated a user persona based on the research that was conducted when determining the cost of living problem that existed in Miami, FL. The user persona identifies and distinguishes the needs, wants, motivations, and pain points of potential users hence allowing me to empathize with their frustrations

Based on the information found in Alicia's user persona, I was able to map out a user flow to comprehend and visualize the process she and potential users will need to comply with in order to accomplish their goals

During this stage, I was able to create some low-fidelity wireframes to structure how the app functions and address the needs and wants of the users

Task #1: As a user, I want to filter recipes based on energy usage

Feel free to preview the entire low-fidelity prototype

Next., I generated greyscale mid-fidelity wireframes while implementing Figma. I included some UI elements to convey the functionality of the app

Task #1: As a user, I want to filter recipes based on energy usage

After completing the mid-fidelity wireframes, a mood board was created in order to set the tone and identify the visual direction of the Foodie app. After the completion of the mood board, I proceeded to the next stage which was to generate a style guide that contained a color palette, button, cards, and additional UI components that was implemented in the final high-fidelity wireframes

Feel free to preview the style guide

Finally, I was able to incorporate high-fidelity screens that complied with the tone set from the mood board and style guide

Task #1: As a user, I want to filter recipes based on energy usage
