FoodFeed is a website that not only enables people to explore information about ingredients, recipes, kitchen tools and cooking techniques, it makes it easy to discover new food sites and recipes based on sites they already trust.

Anyone can use FoodFeed’s food encyclopedia to look up reference information or browse through its community-recommended collection of food sites and recipes.

FoodFeed members enjoy the convenience of a personalized home page that aggregates and searches recipes exclusively from food sites they trust. Members can also specify and save their own filters, so that FoodFeed’s search results and personalized recommendations reflect their tastes, food allergies, and dietary preferences.

My individual contributions to this project included conducting directed storytelling interviews and competitive analysis, persona and scenario development, visual research, website content collection, and HTML prototyping.

To me, a book is its own self-contained world. Reading a book opens that world up a fraction, exposing it to the reader’s perspective and expectations. But what would happen to that self-contained world if we could write directly on its pages, read notes others have written in the margins, and have online discussions about the material with classmates or with fellow readers around the world, all within the book’s covers? I envision reading in the future as a much more interactive experience. Watch my concept video on the future of reading, then see the process book to see how it all came together.
