Through interviews and surveys with 15 busy families, I uncovered the pain points that shaped our design:
Key Research Finding: 15 busy families surveyed revealed that existing meal planning solutions don't fit real family workflows. Most parents spend 2+ hours weekly on meal planning with inadequate tools that fail to accommodate dietary restrictions, family preferences, and time constraints.
I translated research into intuitive features that streamline meal planning from start to finish.
I designed an interface that lets families quickly visualize and organize their week’s meals. The setup workflow guides users through preferences, while the calendar view provides clear organization.
I created a recipe database with intelligent filtering so families can easily find meals that match dietary needs, available time, and cooking skill level—removing guesswork from meal selection.
I designed an AI-powered recommendation system that adapts to family preferences and dietary restrictions, suggesting meals tailored to each household’s specific needs and abilities.
A comprehensive design concept that successfully addresses the real needs of busy families through thoughtful interface design and user-centered features.
See how our design solutions come together in the complete user experience through our interactive prototype demonstration.
