The main objective of Jeun was to create a social media platform for food enthusiasts that would foster a community of sharing and collaboration. Specifically, the goals were to: provide a platform for users to share their culinary creations and discover new recipes and meals, allow users to curate their search based on images and ingredient, enable users to generate meals/recipes based on what ingredients they have on hand, allow users to follow their friends and get likes, saves, and shares. Provide a user-friendly and visually appealing design that would engage and inspire users.

Understanding the landscape of

To better understand the landscape of food-related social media platforms, I conducted a thorough competitive research analysis. We looked at existing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest, as well as specialized food apps like Yummly and BigOven. This research allowed us to identify gaps in the market and refine our product strategy.

We looked at existing platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest, as well as specialized food apps like Yummly and BigOven. This research allowed us to identify gaps in the market and refine our product strategy.

Popular platforms like Instagram and Pinterest have a significant user base that shares food-related content, but lack specialized recipe organization features.
Specialized recipe apps like Yummly and BigOven have more advanced recipe search and customization features, but lack the social media and recipe sharing aspects.
Target audiences for these platforms are often individuals who are interested in cooking, food culture, and healthy living
Existing platforms are not effectively addressing the need for a user-friendly and comprehensive recipe sharing and organization platform that combines both social media and advanced recipe features.
Best practices for designing a successful recipe sharing app include intuitive navigation, personalized recipe recommendations, social engagement features, and robust search and customization options

To gain a deeper understanding of our target audience, we conducted user interviews with food enthusiasts of different backgrounds, ages, and skill . From these interviews, we created user personas that represented the needs and goals of our target audience. These personas allowed us to design a platform that would meet the needs of a diverse group of users.

At the start of this project, my personal goal for this was to gain more familiarity with the design of mobile applications and ideally B2C products. I found out how creative I had to get with navigation throughout the product to ensure the user flow was smooth and seamless. I am currently doing more user testing for this product to see how I can improve it, but this was an enjoyable project for me.
