My Task

I was assigned to design the UI for SmartHQ’s Recipe app. Using low-fidelity wireframes provided by team designers, I created a functional prototype with a finalized UI in just a few weeks to present to product managers.

Using In-Home Research

Based on in-home research I conducted at the start of my internship, I learned that most homeowners use apps like Pinterest and TikTok to find recipes. Since SmartHQ couldn’t host videos like TikTok, I opted for a Pinterest-inspired design, incorporating features such as collections and bookmarking.

Seamless start actions like "preheat oven" or "send to mixer" with just a tap. These smart controls sync directly with your connected appliances, streamlining the cooking process right from the app.
