The Project

My process : Empathize > Define > Ideate > Prototype > Test

This project is a menu app, created to be easy to use & to share detailed information about the food. This mobile app has been designed for a fictional Mexican restaurant, that I’ve called Mexico Factory. I have realized this UX & UI mobile app project from the bottom to the end, as the only UX Designer. I’ve completed it during my professional certificate of UX Design by Google.
