BrainStation UX course
Nutri | Nutrition App Concept
A BrainStation UX course project exploring how nutrition tracking could fit more naturally into everyday routines.
Course concept
UX research · Information architecture · Interaction design
UX/UI design
From everyday logging to comparison
Overview — review intake across a selected period.
Comparison — view two periods side by side.
Quick Add — choose between adding a product and logging intake.
Product search — an unsuccessful search offers nutrition-label scanning.
The brief
Nutrition tracking can feel intimidating. For my BrainStation UX course, I explored how a nutrition app could make everyday food tracking more approachable. Three interviews highlighted recurring grocery purchases, limited time for tracking, dietary restrictions and preferences, and frustration with apps adapting slowly to workout routines.
The approach
I developed the information architecture, task flows, sketches, wireframes, and visual direction around a Fridge grocery concept and Quick Add. I focused on two scenarios: recovering from an unrecognised barcode through database search, nutrition-label scanning, or manual entry; and comparing nutrition across selected time periods.
Outcome
The project resulted in two designed task flows and an interface walkthrough. Nutri remained a course concept, not a launched product. Further development of Fridge and search, along with technical feasibility, remained future work.
