My role
Storyteller & UX/UI designer
Customers question the value “Pressing the 'on' button is the easiest step – you're not saving much effort.” Most smart kitchen devices fall short on substantial features and fail to consider the user’s journey.
Smart kitchen devices could be more connected & convenient helping to save time?
Imagine a busy parent who is strapped for time and has mouths to feed, a student that has little experience with cooking or a senior who has lost the confidence to use many kitchen appliances.
Integrating early on hooks users into returning to the app to complete the recipe & journey.
It also increases the utility and usability of the app by providing more value.
While following a recipe your connected devices automatically followed along without your input
Your device could notify you when you make a mistake.
Your device alerts you when it alters cooking time based on moisture content and when it's complete
The app and device go beyond being a remote control that doesn't save much effort to become a time saver and assistant all throughout the week. Embedded into families lives & journeys for the better.
