MealMatch is a recipe discovery app designed to make meal planning fun, fast, and effortless. Developed as a group project, I contributed to the UX/UI design, focusing on creating an intuitive and visually engaging experience. Prototyped in Figma, MealMatch allows users to swipe left or right to quickly decide whether a recipe is a keeper, reducing decision fatigue and making browsing seamless. The app features smart filters based on ingredients, dietary preferences, or allergies, and includes detailed nutritional information so users can make informed choices. Users can share favorite recipes or upload their own creations, fostering a sense of community and culinary inspiration. Through this project, I gained hands-on experience designing interactive interfaces, crafting user flows, and translating concepts into a high-fidelity Figma prototype that balances functionality, personalization, and aesthetic appeal.
Building on this concept, I focused on refining the user experience to ensure the swipe-based interaction felt natural, responsive, and engaging. I carefully designed the visual hierarchy of each recipe card to prioritize key information such as imagery, title, and dietary tags, while keeping secondary details easily accessible without overwhelming the user. Through iterative prototyping in Figma, I tested different layouts, transitions, and interaction patterns to improve clarity and reduce friction in the decision-making process. I also considered how users would navigate between discovery, filtering, and saved recipes, ensuring a cohesive flow across the entire app experience. These refinements helped strengthen the balance between functionality and playfulness, making MealMatch both efficient and enjoyable to use.
