Process

Research & Analysis: I conducted user interviews, surveys, and analyzed food and beverage industry analytics to understand the pain points and user needs specially for the target audience. I also studied competitor apps and industry trends to gather insights

Information Architecture: Based on the research findings, I restructured the gain box's navigation and content, prioritising features and information according to user needs.


Wireframing & Prototyping: I designed low-fidelity wireframes to visualise the new layout and navigation, iteratively refining them based on user feedback. Afterward, I built a high-fidelity, interactive prototype to test the design.


Usability Testing: I conducted usability tests with a diverse group of users to validate the design and identify areas for improvement. Based on the feedback, we made necessary adjustments to the design.


Visual Design & Style Guide: Then I developed a cohesive visual language, including colour schemes, typography, and iconography, ensuring consistency throughout the app. We also created a style guide to maintain design consistency in future updates.

Who is the user?

As a product designer, prioritising and deprioritising features is crucial when building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). Here, I went ahead with planning the product to only support the adult audience. That makes the user very clear - Salaried individuals.

Information Architecture

Once everything was planned out and approved, I went ahead with the information architecture of the application. Even though, the scope has been narrowed down, it was still extremely challenging to make sense out of everything and build a task flow. After several iterations and failures, I did come up with the Critical User Journey(CUJ) and the overall structure of the app.

EMPHASIZE & DE-EMPHASIZE

The primary objective of the MVP relates to swiftly and efficiently presenting the product's fundamental value to its users. By giving precedence to specific features, I made certain that mandatory functionalities were established upfront, enabling prompt user interaction and verification. This method aids in early detection and resolution of user requirements and difficulties. Assigning lesser importance to non-critical features expedites development timelines, minimises intricacies, and maintains the MVP's concentration towards its fundamental role.

CHALLENGES & LEARNINGS

It was extremely challenging and interesting to design a food delivery mobile application, ensuring intuitive interfaces that accommodate complex customizing processes.

  • I learnt building a flexible and scalable design foundation that can accommodate future iterations and expansions of the product without sacrificing usability or performance.

  • Since this was the first ever version of the product, I also had to plan the kind of brand impact it will be making.

  • I learnt to embrace an iterative approach, which only refined the product and added value over time.
