Bakewell is an app designed for the modern baker to store their recipes, make adjustments, and follow along with their recipes time and time again. It helps users safely store their favorite recipes with pictures and videos to reference for future use. Bakewell uses a simple color palette for a clean, minimal appeal. Bakewell makes use of the Abril Display font to feminize titles as well as Tablet Gothic for easy-to-read legible recipes. The priority of Bakewell’s design is to beautifully frame the user’s recipes.
Based on my learnings from the research, I created two personas as my target users. My first persona is Daniel, the informed perfectionist, and my second persona is Terri, the showstopping hostess.
Informed Perfectionist
Male | 28 | Accountant
“I need to write accurate and straightforward recipes because I want to perfect my bakes.”
After sitting at a computer all day at work, Daniel enjoys standing in his kitchen and working with his hands. He finds it to be a fun, creative outlet and a big stress reliever from his job. Daniel goes to Youtube for baking advice and inspiration. He bakes a recipe again and again until he gets it perfect.
When baking takes longer than he plans, he gets impatient
Not being sure if he is using the right method
Not enough time to learn everything
Learn more about flavors and which flavors go well together
Bake things that intimidate him
Build baking confidence so he doesn’t second guess so much
Showstopping Hostess
Female | 60 | Teacher
“I need to easily reference all of my recipes in one spot because I am always baking for my family.”
Terri’s friends call her Martha Stewart as she excels at all things homemaking. For recipes and baking advice, she references Pinterest, her large collection of recipe books, or her pile of notes and papers passed down from her friends and family. Her favorite thing to bake is cakes because she loves creating impressive and cute designs.
Misplacing her favorite recipes
Forgetting if she already put in a certian ingredient
Accidently mixing in a wrong ingredient
Organize her favorite recipes
Collect baking inspiration in one spot
Build baking confidence so he doesn’t second guess so much
