planEats

Working prototype for PlanEats, the highly customizable meal-planning, recipe-storing, shop-assisting, meal preparation companion.

• We wanted to create a meal planning tool that would allow planning, creating, shopping, and recipe discovery all in one app.
• Users needed to be able to easily add custom meals to a calendar and be able to find and save new recipes easily.

• In addition to defining user requirements for the app's core components, I was the system design architect. I met with the team to understand each of our wants and needs for the app. We then decided on the core features of the prototype and created a design roadmap.

• I developed meal planning, recipe creation and view, and meal creation features for the application. These features allowed a user to add their own recipes to our database, easily view their recipe when cooking, and create easily repeatable meals in the app
• Tech: We built the app with React and Node/Express using styled components and tools like React Helmet and Sequelize.
