The problem
Convenience cooking has been on the rise since the 50s. It has led to distant increasing within our communities.
There aren’t many ways for intergenerational connections on offer to people, which is leading to an increase in loneliness and isolation.
Research
The mood-board above presents cultures. From this I have seen the most prominent colours to be reds and yellows which i will then use within my product.
Why are people eating alone:
- More people are living alone
- Quality time for yourself
- Busy lives and hectic work schedules
- ‘grab and go’ market
- Rise of mukbang culture. Webcast of people eating enormous amounts of food
Ideation & development
As an initial ideation I created a visual layout of my proposed navigational aspects with post-it notes which led to the creation of a simple digital layout.
Along the way I developed and iterated the app journey and UX from my user testing feedback.
I created a user journey to show each how I would like the pages to connect and navigate.
The images show my starting journey to the final product with the connections on each of the app screens.
The final app
After researching and developing my idea I created an app prototype using 'figma'.
Below is a video showing an app walkthrough.
