The Challenge

"I have 14 meals every week"

John, 25 y.o.

Young adults want to eat healthy but rarely have the time. Cooking requires planning, shopping, and effort—while delivery is instant. The challenge: how might we make healthy eating as convenient as ordering in?

My Role

As Product Designer, I led the research, concept development, and UX design of the ecosystem, translating insights into a cohesive product experience.

Research & insights

Research showed that users needed one integrated flow—from deciding what to eat to cooking it. They wanted personalization, flexibility, and minimal friction—without giving up taste or time.

Meet John

To anchor the design, I created John, a 25-year-old young professional balancing health goals with a fast-paced life.

His goals:

Eat healthy, tasty meals without planning or time pressure.

His frustrations:

Grocery shopping feels like a chore, cooking skills are limited, and meal plans never stick.

John became the lens through which every design decision was made—helping ensure the system truly worked for real habits and real lives.

ideation & design

We mapped every pain point into five stages:
Decide → Buy → Stock → Cook → Eat.
The insight was clear: a single product wouldn't solve this.

THE SOLUTION HAD TO CONNECT HARDWARE, SOFTWARE AND SERVICE INTO ONE SEAMLESS SYSTEM.
