  • Due Date: 11/13/25

  • Task Time: Sreeja (1 hr), Fei (1 hr), Yi Huan (2 hrs)

  • Description: This task involved synthesizing and analyzing all the findings from our different interviews to extract key changes for the design team. The analysis process involved feeding all interview transcripts to ChatGPT to extract repeated feedback, then manually adjusting the findings as a team to be more informative and aligned with what we experienced during the interviews.

  • Deliverable: Paper Prototype Findings

  • Takeaways:

    • Informed Changes to the user flow:

      • Manual Item Input >> Upload Fields >> Price, Input Date, Expiry Date

      • Insights

        • Rename this navbar item

        • Provide more distinction between “Insights” vs “Analytics”

      • Analytics

        • Have different kinds of graphs

        • Users want dynamic/custom timeframes and category filters (ex: oct - sept)

        • Additional filters for how much a user spends on a certain food category

          • Ex: how much did I spend on meat vs veggies?

          • Pie chart format or other visual format desired ^

      • Badges tied to usage, budget adherence, healthy eating, or shopping frequency encourage engagement

        • You are this far off from becoming the 50th shopper at trader joes!

        • Spent less than $100 in a grocery run

        • Make badges(goals) for yourself

        • I spent $2 on [niche/expensive interests like cheese] 

        • Badges for logging into back for a week straight/month straight

        • “pro budgeter!” You stayed within your budget this past month!

        • Healthy eater! – you bought veggies 10x this month

        • Sweet tooth! – you bought sweets 10 x this month

        • Buying vegetables

        • Being under budget

        • You bought a bunch of stuff on sale

      • “How to use” section is confusing and needs to be fleshed out more

    • Changes should be informed by frequency, not what stands out to us


A/B Testing: Color 1.0 Script - Sreeja, Fei, Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 11/14/25

  • Task Time: Sreeja (1 hr), Fei (1 hr), Yi Huan (3 hrs)

  • Description: This script was written with the intention of collecting feedback from users about 3 different color palettes, alignment with branding, and readability.

  • Deliverable: A/B Testing: Color 1.0 Script

  • Takeaways:

    • Writing work can be done remotely by working in phases of drafts.

    • Write questions that extract data.

    • Do not write questions that guide/lead users.

    • Ask questions that compare directly with the previous color palette.


A/B Testing: Color 1.0 Testing - Sreeja, Fei, Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 11/18/25

  • Task Time: Yi Huan (1.5 hrs), Fei (1 hr) 

  • Description: We each conducted 2 “A/B Testing: Color 1.0” interviews to collect feedback about our color palette in specific regards to our branding. 

  • Deliverable: Link to Recordings

  • Takeaways:

    • It was best to have the user view the prototype on their device so the interviewer could take notes with ease

    • Having “response” and "explanation" in the script for each question, even if we don’t explicitly ask for an explanation each time, made it easier to document information during the interview

    • Asking more quantitative questions during the interview helped users feel more confident in their response


A/B Testing: Color 1.0 Findings - Sreeja, Fei, Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 11/18/25

  • Task Time: Sreeja (1hr), Fei (1 hr), Yi Huan (3 hrs)

  • Description:

    • This task involved synthesizing and analyzing all the findings from our different interviews to extract key changes for the design team. The analysis process extracting feedback according to frequency mentioned, then manually adjusting the findings as a team to be more informative and aligned with what we experienced during the interviews. To effectively visualize data, we used graphs noted frequency by saying “x out of 9 users said…” to validate findings.

  • Deliverable: A/B Testing: Color 1.0 Findings 

  • Takeaways:

    • Visualizing the frequency of a concern that was mentioned made helped us feel much more confident in our findings

    • Helped us separate “necessary changes” from “potential opportunities”

    • Helped design team scan findings more effectively

    • People hate the orange

    • We need to do another round of testing for the color palette


Database Development - Maria, Reuben, Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 11/18/25

  • Task Time: Maria (3.5 hrs), Reuben (1.5 hrs), Yi Huan (0.5 hrs)

  • Description: The lead developer and project manager discussed what information would be required for our database. I took that information and organized them into columns and rows on Google Sheets. Then, I exported the table into a .csv file which was compatible for upload via Supabase. The table is titled “Receipts” and has the following categories: id, receipt_size, store_name, item_name, category, quantity, unit_price, item_total, receipt_subtotal, and created_at. These are receipt placeholders for our Food At Home App.

  • Deliverable: [live link + live link screenshot]

  • Takeaways:

    • The process of exporting .csv files from Google Sheets and importing them into Supabase is straightforward.

    • The organization of the Table allows our development team to easily read what we have and edit things on an as-needed basis.


Import Icon Library - Maria

  • Due Date: 11/19/25

  • Task Time: Maria (1 hr)

  • Description: Based on the primary UX/UI Designer’s suggestion, the Development team imported a library of icons from Lucide. This installation was imported into our SvelteKit framework. I also created a file named ICONS.md within the GitHub Repository to walk through certain icon folders that made the most sense with each page.

  • Deliverable: Icons Usage Guide

  • Takeaways:

    • This is an easier process than individually gathering and downloading icons because it saves a lot of time.

    • Lucide is a great resource for a variety of icons.


Create Rootkit - Maria

  • Due Date: 11/19/25

  • Task Time: Maria (4.5 hrs)

  • Description: Based on variables from our Figma - Design file, the developers were told that all the collections were ready to be organized into a rootkit for front-end development. This was done by creating several folders inside src > lib > styles. Styles included another set of folders for brand, color, font, size, and tokens.

  • Deliverable: Rootkit

  • Takeaways:

    • Creating a rootkit makes it manageable for developers to iterate designs throughout the entire app.

    • When designers update colors or typography, this makes it easy for developers to refer to.


Badge System - Fei, Reuben, Sreeja

  • Due Date: 11/20/25

  • Task Time: Fei (1 hr), Reuben (.5 hrs), Sreeja (.5 hrs) 

  • Description:

    • The badge system was created and sorted into primary and secondary badges that align with our mission. The primary badges include the “Welcome”, “Budget & Savings”, and “Long-Term Milestones”. The secondary badges include the “Waste Reduction & Sustainability” and “Grocery Management” badges. These badges are split between being predictable/measurable milestone badges and surprise badges. We discussed how the badge system would motivate users to use the app, and concluded that it would be a self-motivated system for now. Anything more would be considered scope creep.

  • Deliverable: Badge System

  • Takeaways:

    • In user testing, we received criticism that some users would like the badge system more if there is a reward linked to it or if it were more public-facing. For the future of this app, we may consider giving it a more social platform


Mid-fidelity Prototype - Yen, Fei, Maria

  • Due Date: 11/21/25

  • Task Time: Yen (28.5 hrs), Fei (8 hrs), Maria (3.5 hrs)

  • Description:

    • Using the findings from both the paper prototype testing and the color validation testing, the design team incorporated all necessary feedback and revisions into the mid-fidelity prototype. From the low-fidelity prototype, we simplified the receipt-scanning process, expanded the options for manually adding items, fleshed out the inventory page, added list/grid view toggles, implemented filtering (oldest first or recently added), applied category tags, completed the main navigation bar, and added the analytics graph. These updates refined user flow, clarified interactions, and improved overall usability.

    • In the meantime, we refined the primary and secondary color sets based on test results and integrated them into this prototype for the second round of color validation testing. After consolidating all improvements, we ensured the prototype was functional, cohesive, and ready for mid-fidelity user testing.

  • Deliverable:

  • Takeaways:

    • It was very interesting to see how users interacted with our initial color palette and how their feedback shaped the updated version.

    • Although this prototype required the most time and effort so far, it establishes a strong foundation for the high-fidelity prototype and future iterations.


A/B Testing: Color 2.0 Prototypes - Yi Huan, Yen 

  • Due Date: 11/23/25

  • Task Time: Yi Huan (1.5 hrs), Yen (0.5 hr)

  • Description:

    • The Lead Designer took the feedback from A/B Testing: Color 1.0 to create a new color palette and the Tertiary Researcher implemented the new color palette into prototype layouts to be tested. The new color palette will be tested against the winning color palette from the first round of testing. Version A is the winning color from the previous testing. Version B is the new color palette. We also took this as an opportunity to test the layout of the home page.

  • Deliverable: 

  • Takeaways:

    • Figma variables made color switching easy

    • Each screen should be labelled within the prototype as well for clarity

    • Only one variable can be changed and tested at a time


A/B Testing: Color 2.0 Survey Form - Sreeja, Fei, Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 11/26/25

  • Task Time: Sreeja (1.5 hrs), Fei (0.5 hrs, Yi Huan (2 hrs)

  • Description: We recognized that we had a very short time window to conduct a second round of A/B Testing before Mid Fidelity Prototype so we decided to do this research via survey. We used a lot of questions from our previous script, but made sure to adjust them to suit the survey format.

  • Deliverable: Link to A/B Testing: Color 2.0 Survey

  • Takeaways:

    • Added optional explanation to each question

    • Link to enlarged images

    • Keep the first section as short as possible to bring users in


A/B Testing: Color 2.0 Findings - Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 11/26/25

  • Task Time: Yi Huan (6 hrs)

  • Description:

    • To visualize our findings more effectively, I transferred the form responses to a spreadsheet and created either bar graphs or word clouds. I cleaned the data for questions like “describe __ in three words” and noted how many times each word was mentioned.

  • Deliverable: Link to A/B Testing: Color 2.0 Findings


  • Takeaways:

    • Word cloud is sufficient visualization for the frequency a piece of data appears

    • Qualitative data, like descriptors, can be visualized using word clouds

    • Users may prefer one over the other, but designers can make informed decisions if both options receive positive feedback 

    • Data is directly compared so that designers can access the data easier and make informed decisions

    • Key Finding – Ver A Background was too warm, but Ver B Background was too cool


Mid-fidelity Prototype: Script - Sreeja, Fei, Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 11/26/25

  • Task Time: Sreeja (5 hrs), Fei (2 hrs), Yi Huan (6 hrs)

  • Description: This was our final testing so we wanted to make sure we covered as much information as possible. We divided the script up into sections according to screens >> tabs and asked specific questions pertaining to each user task that pertained to the main flow. We also made sure the script left room for feedback that was unasked for and a plan of action if the user did not go where we expected them to go within the navigation. 

  • Deliverable: Mid-Fidelity Testing Script 

  • Takeaways:

    • Soft test a long script with a user first

    • Use Chat GPT to make long scripts as concise as possible

    • Always leave room for explanation in addition to response

    • If you can quantify a question in this stage, quantify it so that data analysis will be easier


Mid-fidelity Prototype: Testing - Sreeja, Fei, Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 11/27m/25

  • Task Time: Sreeja (2 hrs), Yi Huan (2.5 hrs),  Fei (0.5 hr)

  • Description:

    • We had one day to conduct interviews, which was Thanksgiving day. Although we aimed for 2 interviews each, we gave each other grace considering the holidays and the expected length of the interview.  

  • Deliverable:

  • Takeaways:

    • Write script with more visual text hierarchy to make interview notetaking more efficient 

    • Figure out how to write scripts that accommodate for moments where users go off script/ahead of the game

    • Although the script was very long already, there were moments where follow up questions helped provide more insight into future opportunities


Mid-fidelity Prototype: Findings - Sreeja, Fei, Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 11/28/25

  • Task Time: Yi Huan (2 hrs), Fei (.5 hrs)

  • Description:

    • This task involved synthesizing and analyzing all the findings from our different interviews to extract key changes for the design team. The analysis process involved feeding all interview transcripts to ChatGPT to extract repeated feedback. Design changes are informed by frequency of mention, though we also make space and take note of potential opportunities.

  • Deliverable: Mid-Fidelity Prototype Findings 


  • Takeaways:

    • Include images to provide clarity to data

    • Findings should be as detailed as possible…avoid generalizations

    • Positive findings are just as important to validate current design decisions


Backend Functionality - Reuben

  • Due Date: 11/30/25

  • Task Time: Reuben (7 hrs)

  • Description: For this task, we reworked part of the database by setting up a user table, separating “Receipts” into  “receipts” and “receipt_items” tables, and populating everything with test data to verify functionality. From this, we’ve built core functions that let us retrieve all receipts for a user, view all items within a specific receipt, fetch an individual receipt, and delete or update both receipts and items. These make up the foundation of the system, and while they cover the essential workflows, we expect to expand on them further next quarter as the project changes.

  • Deliverable: GitHub

  • Takeaways:

    • Reworked the database structure by creating a user table, splitting the original “Receipts” table into “receipts” and “receipt_items,” and populating everything with test data to confirm functionality.

    • Built the core features for retrieving all receipts for a user, viewing items within a specific receipt, fetching an individual receipt, and updating or deleting receipts and items—forming the foundation of the system as it continues to evolve next quarter.

    • Navigated challenges in SvelteKit, especially around how it determines what data can or cannot be exposed to client-side users when using its built-in commands.


Create Content for “How to Use” - Fei

  • Due Date: 12/01/25

  • Task Time: Fei (1 hr)

  • Description: The content lead created the text and instructions for the how to use sections of the app. This includes instructions for “how to navigate the app”, “how to add an item manually”, and etc.

  • Deliverable: How to Use…

  • Takeaways: 

    • This exercise brought attention to the graphs that we are using for our Analytics page. We have to rethink the format of the charts in order for users to understand the content with ease


Hi-fidelity Prototype - Yen, Fei

  • Due Date: 12/02/25

  • Task Time: Yen (7 hrs), Fei (2 hrs)

  • Description:

    • Using the usability testing findings from the mid-fidelity prototype, the design team compiled and implemented a detailed list of revisions for the high-fidelity version. One of the strongest pieces of feedback was that the Metrics screen felt confusing and not useful, which was concerning since it is one of our core features. To address this, we spent the most time restructuring this area. We combined the Overview and Analytics tabs into a single Insights screen and added more relevant data, including total spent, average per receipt, highest and lowest receipt amounts, and other improved visualizations.

    • Along with the metrics redesign, we implemented the following changes:

      • changed meals to leftover

      • added grid view design

      • added desserts category

      • change secondary color

      • update category navbar color

      • change icon of metrics

      • add price input for item added manually

      • add edit pop-up model for items after scan to edit

      • fix microinteraction of toss-chomp item card

      • fix filter dropdown in inventory

      • add badges system

      • create badges microinteraction for badges

      • add how to use guide

    • If more time were available, we would explore additional enhancements such as:

      • on boarding screen

      • logo animation

      • digital receipts

      • make different graph

      • more customize option for shopping list

  • Deliverable:

  • Takeaways:

    • After reviewing feedback from both rounds of color validation testing, I was surprised to see that users preferred our beige-tone background over the gray one, even though the first test showed the opposite. Based on these findings, we decided to keep a warm background tone but refine it by shifting closer to white for improved clarity and balance.


Design System - Yen

  • Due Date: 12/02/25

  • Task Time: Yen (3 hrs)

  • Description:

    • While working on the mid-fidelity prototype, I also established the design system that includes our color palette, typography, scale, spacing, and core components. This system creates a consistent foundation for the interface and supports smoother collaboration and faster iteration as the design evolves

  • Deliverable:

  • Takeaways:

    • Building the design system improved consistency across prototype screens.

    • Setting up variables in Figma took time to learn, but it significantly speeds up updates and component management

    • Having a defined system makes the overall design process more efficient and scalable.


Reward Badges Icons - Yen

  • Due Date: 12/02/25

  • Task Time: Yen (2 hrs)

  • Description:

    • Using the badge system framework developed by the content team, I designed a set of reward badges featuring a food-themed visual style. The goal was to make the rewards feel playful and motivating while staying consistent with the app’s branding

  • Deliverable:


  • Takeaways:

    • This was a fun and refreshing task that helped me take a creative break from the prototype work

    • Ensured badges effectively represent each achievement tupe

    • Created designs that are both motivating and thematically relevant to food


Reorganizing Teams and Google Drive Content Systems - Fei, Yi Huan

  • Due Date: 12/02/25

  • Task Time: Fei (4 hrs), Yi Huan (2 hrs) 

  • Description: 

    • The Google Drive and Team filing system continues to evolve as we add in new deliverables. We reorganized the folders to be numbered numerically to reflect the order in which deliverables were done. 

  • Deliverable: Google Drive

  • Takeaways: 

    • It helps us stay organized to have our folders numbered 

    • Minimizing the amount of subfolders in each of the main folders help a lot with minimizing traffic


Status Post 03 - Maria, Reuben

  • Due Date: 12/2/25

  • Task Time: Maria (3 hrs), Reuben (1 hr)

  • Description: Status Post 03 is a required assignment for our Junior Project class. It involves documentation of closed tasks, open tasks, and new tasks. This allows our potential stakeholders, classmates, and the general public to view our progress via Framer.

  • Deliverable: Status Post 03

  • Takeaways:

    • Our Food At Home App is approaching the final deliverable – a high-fidelity prototype.

    • Now that this is our third status post, the process of ensuring the team is on the same page has become easier.

    • This page not only provides a visual of our teamwork to stakeholders, but it also serves as a resource for our own team to consistently refer to.

Open Tasks

Style Guide - Yen, Fei, Maria

  • Due Date: 11/23/25

  • Description: After completing the high-fidelity prototype, the design team will gather one additional round of feedback to refine visual details and ensure consistency across all components. Once these refinements are made, we will finalize the style guide, documenting the approved typography, color palette, logo usage, iconography, spacing, and UI components. This style guide will also serve as a foundational document for building the case study later on.
