RePlate — Food Rescue Platform
A food rescue platform connecting food donors, NGOs, and volunteers to reduce food waste.
A focused design exploration for a more thoughtful replate experience.
A food rescue platform connecting food donors, NGOs, and volunteers to reduce food waste. This case study documents the thinking, visual decisions, and interaction direction behind the concept.
Start with the friction, not the feature list.
Food rescue is a coordination problem. A donor, an NGO, and a volunteer each need a clear next step, but the handoff can become fragmented and time-sensitive.
A working lens for the design.
I mapped the moments where a handoff can lose momentum and used that as a design brief: make availability visible, keep actions specific, and give every role a shared sense of progress.
Make the next action feel obvious.
The primary journey is intentionally compact, giving the product a clear rhythm from first intent to a useful outcome.
Offer surplus
Match with a local NGO
Confirm pickup
Close the loop
Structure before surface.
Early wireframes focused on one decisive action per screen: post, match, confirm. The structure stayed lightweight so the visual system could support clarity rather than compete with it.
A visual language with a job to do.
A warm coral accent brings energy to a practical service. Rounded cards, generous tap targets, and a restrained type scale keep the experience human and easy to scan.
A calmer interface, shaped around the moment that matters.
The final direction turns a multi-sided service into a calm, step-by-step mobile experience with clear ownership at every handoff.
Give the idea a pulse.
The prototype is framed around the donor-to-NGO journey, with confirmation moments that make the next step feel tangible.
The takeaway is in the decisions.
This exploration reinforced that service design can be expressed through tiny interface decisions: role clarity, timely feedback, and a visible end state.
