Healthier Meals

Project overview

Healthier Meals is an organization that prioritizes healthy eating for adults. The organization requires a tool to assist individuals in learning about and managing their meals. The primary target audience for Healthier Meals is health-conscious adults who want to learn more about healthy cooking and maintain a nutritious lifestyle.

The strategy team at Healthier Meals has identified a lack of general knowledge about healthy diets and limited inspiration for healthy recipes in daily life as the key challenges that people face in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, leading to diet-related health problems.

The objective is to create an app that can serve as a reliable source of information on healthy food and assist individuals in managing their daily meals effectively, thereby promoting a healthier lifestyle.

Starting the design

I conducted a rapid ideation exercise to generate ideas for addressing the gaps identified in the competitive audit, with a particular emphasis on promoting knowledge about healthy food and weekly meal planning.

I conducted a usability study using digital wireframes and a low-fidelity prototype. The findings from the study guided the improvement of the design for planning.

Responsive design

I designed the screens for various sizes, including mobile, tablet, and desktop. I optimized the designs to meet the specific needs of users for each device and screen size.

Takeaways

I learned that although the problem I was trying to solve was significant, going through each step of the design process diligently and aligning with specific user needs helped me come up with feasible and useful solutions.
