People juggling work, kids, and life. Cooking every day can feel like a chore, and coming up with new ideas adds extra pressure. Daily Chef is built for users who want better meals, without spending hours in the kitchen or breaking the bank.
Not enough time to plan or cook
Lack of meal ideas
Food waste from unused ingredients
Making meals everyone in the family enjoys
UX/UI Process
1. User Research
We spoke with 5 users, mainly busy parents, and learned about their cooking habits, pain points, and goals. This gave us a strong foundation for the MVP.
Tools used:
User Interviews
Competitor & SWOT Analysis
Journey Mapping
2. Define
We created three personas:
A single parent managing allergies and time
A couple with a newborn and little energy
A health-conscious user focused on variety and budget
They all shared one key need: simple, creative cooking without the stress.
3. Ideate & Sketch
Using the research, we built wireframes and tested them early. This helped us adjust navigation, recipe flow, and filters before going high-fidelity.
I also created an initial prototype of Scrabble to test its functionality in the early stages.
4. Prototyping and Testing
We developed a clickable prototype with clear flows for:
Onboarding
Finding recipes
Using cooking mode
Filtering by time or ingredients
We ran usability tests with clear tasks:
Complete onboarding
Pick a recipe and start cooking
Use the “Create your meal” feature
Search for a quick recipe
From the feedback, we improved filter clarity, button labels, and recipe structure.
