Fridge to Feast

Turn what’s in your fridge into simple meals.

Project: Mobilie App Concept

Role: UX/IU Designer

Product: Fridgy

Timeline: 2 day AI-assisted build

The Problem

Ingredients, but no plan

Opening the fridge often means facing a random mix of ingredients with no clear meal in mind.

The challenge isn’t finding food — it’s figuring out how to combine what’s already there. Fridge to Feast helps users transform those ingredients into simple meal ideas in seconds.

Context

The everyday cooking dilemma

Young professionals often cook occasionally and rarely plan meals
in advance.

As a result:
• Ingredients get forgotten in the fridge 
• People default to ordering food 
• Food waste increases

The Goal

How might we help people turn the ingredients they already have into a real meal — quickly and effortlessly?

The Solution

Turning ingredients into meals

Fridge to Feast is a mobile-first app that helps users discover meals based on the ingredients they already have in their fridge.

Instead of searching for recipes manually, users simply select what they have and instantly receive meal suggestions they can cook right away.

The experience focuses on:
• Speed
• Simplicity
• Reducing decision fatigue.

Reflection

This project explored how AI-assisted workflows can accelerate product design when guided by clear UX thinking. By combining strategic reasoning, a defined design system, and iterative prompts, I was able to guide AI tools to quickly prototype the product while maintaining usability and visual consistency.

The result was a functional mobile product concept designed and prototyped in two days. The experience demonstrates how designers can use AI not as a replacement for design thinking, but as a tool to accelerate ideation, iteration, and execution.
