Kitchenspace

User research, UX design, UI design, user testing
Project Overview
Kitchenspace was a project that was born and prototyped in a single weekend; Startup Weekend Mega Copenhagen 2017. The concept of the idea was that kitchen owners could rent out their kitchen space in the hours it was not in use to earn extra money and give freelance chefs and caterers easy access to kitchen spaces.
My Contributions
In the team I was the only designer, who worked on building the prototype in close collaboration with a developer.

I contributed with user research, persona building, sketching, UX design, UI design and user testing.
Final prototype.
The designs in this project were created as a collaboration between me and the developer and what you see is the first prototype written in code, without final aesthetic adjustments.

Process

Since the entire project took place in a weekend, the extend of the process was short, but efficient.

User research
To find out whether there was a user need for renting out kitchen spaces, we called a chef and presented the idea. Additional questions were asked in order to find out the user needs for the website. From this interview and the information already at the team's capacity I build personas.
Color palette
Since the domain of the business is the food industry, I wanted the colors to symbolize this. Red, yellow and orange has been found to have an appetite  stimulating effect.

Desk research
As the business idea took inspiration from Airbnb, I thought that the user interface should be somewhat the same to build on best practice and what users are used to.

Designing, prototyping and user testing
Before handing over the designs for the developer, I wanted to test the intuitively of the website. So I created an interactive prototype, made a user test in Maze and sent it to a chef I know, who tested out the design.
