Contribution and Project Timeline

Phase 1 (September )
Define Problem, goal, conduct user survey. Discuss what's feasible, what are the constrains.

Phase 2 (October )
Identify Solutions: Distribute tasks. Start crafting brand identity and create Low Fidelity wireframes

Phase 3 (November )
Craft Hi Fidelity wireframes in Figma and start prototyping with full brand identity.

Phase 4 (December )
Conduct user testing survey, refine and ready for launch!

Every year, 631 million tonnes of food gets wasted per household due to spoilage. Imagine:






An app that tells you when you brought a produce, how long it can last after opening, tips on how to store fresh produce and even automatically rewrite weekly grocery lists. That is Spoilert

From the problem, we surveyed 55 Individuals from different age group and backgrounds, and our main pain points includes:

Prototype Overview

Logo Designs

Peer Feedback:
Peers noted that the first logo appears fresh, vibrant, and effectively communicates the idea of keeping food fresh. In contrast, the second logo was perceived as distorted and visually associated with spoiled or deteriorated food.

Chosen Logo:
The first logo variation was selected because it best reflects the brand’s overall goals. It stands out as unique, conveys freshness clearly, and incorporates a playful visual wordplay that aligns with the brand’s fun and approachable personality.

What Went Well

What Should We Do Next?

- We worked on a problem that many people genuinely experience, which helped us design with empathy and real-world context.
- we were able to clearly define the core problem and translate it into a simple, focused solution.
-I made intentional design decisions around features like expiry tracking and shared groceries to address everyday user pain points.
- This project helped me practice thinking beyond visuals and focus on usability and purpose.
- I stayed organized throughout the process and kept the scope realistic.

- I’d like to validate the idea through user testing and feedback to see how people would actually use the product.
- I could improve the interactions and flows to make the experience feel smoother and more intuitive.
- I’d refine the UI further to ensure clarity, consistency, and accessibility.With more time, I’d develop a higher-fidelity prototype to better demonstrate the full user journey
