The FoodieX Design Challenge

Overview

As part of Xtern, a company based in Indianapolis, I had the opportunity to submit a design deliverable for a challenge in order to be potentially matched with an employer. The challenge was to design screens for a food delivery service called "The FoodieX" as well as create a user persona and scenarios.

Duration

November 2020 (1 week)

The Problem

Xtern, a company based in Indianapolis, Indiana is starting up a food delivery service for interns located in Indianapolis. Create two user stories as well as a persona and four screens that showcase the food checkout process once a user has placed an order.

The Solution

Through competitor research and research about Xtern, I created a persona, two user stories with acceptance criteria as well as developed screens with confirmation after placing a food delivery order on desktop.

Research

I spent the beginning portion of the design challenge doing market research on different potential competitors such as Uber Eats, Doordash, and Grubhub. I found best practices as well as commonalities, and crafted my user persona and stories around the persona and different situations to better ideate for the screens.

Prototype and Takeaways

Since this was a fast paced 1 week design challenge, I made sure to not spend more than 10 hours on this project. Creating the sketches first and marking down important acceptance criteria helped streamline the process and made me more confident when creating the screens for the deliverable, which I definitely will do going forward.
