Tablespoon
A fun and functional learning app
Google UX Design Certificate Portfolio Project #3 - Designing For Social Good
The Problem: It can be hard to know where to start when it comes to learning how to cook, especially if you’re a young adult living on your own for the first time. There are so many different websites, apps, and blogs to choose from, but very few that are geared towards not just learning to cook, but offering recipes as well.
The Goal: With Tablespoon, I wanted to create an app that was approachable and super easy to use upon download. With enticing colors and little fluff, this project is straightforward and focused on serving the users the best learning experience I can.
My Role: Sole UX designer from concept to delivery
Project Duration: January 2023 - February 2023
