Fridgee

Project Description

In 2 weeks, we needed to design a mobile phone app that empowers a specific audience to help improve part of the chain of food collection and distribution.

Problem

Community fridges are subject to health and fire codes, inconsistent inventory information, and insufficient maintenance. Cities are requiring fridge donors to place locks on the fridges which defeats the purpose of them by reducing ease of access.

Insights

Through brainstorming, secondary research and competitive analysis, we found there were many food insecurity apps that connect organizations to different parts of the supply chain. We needed something very unique.

Solutions

We wanted to create an app that makes these fridges more reliable for all members of this grassroots community system by organizing the functions of donees, donors, and volunteers into one place.
