YAJU
FOOD THERAPY
This is a personal project inspired by my Mom's Postnatal Care Center "Yaju". Herbal medicative diet for food therapy or so called "Herbal Cuisine" is a delicious dietary lifestyle in eastern countries, especially needed by women who just delivered a baby or anyone who seek nutrition for the body or lose weight. "How to properly take care of our bodies with food?" has been a popular topic among the healthy groups.
I designed an APP for people to order, learn, share, and talk about healthy food therapy.

Problem
Time-Consuming
Preparing for Herbal Cuisine at home is extremely time-consuming, it usually requires over 10 kinds of ingredients and at least 2 hours to cook a medicative soup.
Difficult to Find
People are easily drawn away by junk food or spicy&salty meals if they were shopping in other food delivery Apps or looking at menus physically at restaurants.
Lack of Nutritional Knowledge
Every food has its properties just like our bodies, they are either cold, neutral, or warm. Cook a well-balanced nutritious meal requires efforts in learning.
Not Personalized to Body Needs
Every body has different needs for food, people are afraid to take the wrong medicinal property for their body needs.

project takeaways
Neomorphism can blend in cohesively with western or eastern aesthetics and color schemes. The study of font and colors really helps in building a beautiful user interface for targeted consumer groups. Color psychology is very useful in consumer/service/food Products. Although the user flow is simple, the experience still needs to be further tested.
