Let's talk about Food Haven
Food haven is American’s Surplus management marketplace. They’re providing restaurants with the ability to sell menu items using ingredients nearing expiration to eliminate their food work.
​
About my role
I worked as a UI/UX designer for Food Haven Mobile App & website design.
I was joined by 2 in-house designers, 1 developer very closely.

Product goals​
-
Customers save money and try new restaurants.
-
Understand where product, team & design needs to work.
-
Efficient checkout process to save users time and allow for easy purchase of products.
-
Give your customers a variety of options.
​
Understand what competitors are offering
Market with biggies like Grubhub & Uber eats we need to know what we stand against.
Know our users
Food Haven provides services within San Francisco and we have to make sure it's different in style. It's important that we much reach out to a variety of users who had great & horrible experiences understand problems & their whole experience
​
The enthusiastic team was involved in the process, I helped them create a question guide & we created timing charts to work together.

Key learnings

Working remotely: It requires extra effort to communicate clearly. I learned to set intentional time to explain my thought process.

Working with a front-end developer: It helped me learn a lot about how to develop responsive web applications more efficiently.
-
As a designer in the team, I became the spokesperson of the product inside and outside.
