Chef1o1 is a UX case study that explores how to create a cooking platform that optimizes the teaching process for aspiring home cooks.
My role:
Student solo project - Research, Usability Testing, Design
Student solo project - Research, Usability Testing, Design
The main challenge I faced during this process:
Initially, I thought the solution would be a more interactive app with simple recipes, but as I researched I found there were plenty of apps that list recipes and include guided videos. Thus, this developed into more of a cooking course, truly becoming a product that people of all skill levels could not only look at a recipes, but learn cooking techniques to apply to their craft. The solution was inspired by the proverb, "If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish, you feed him for a lifetime."
