This project focused on my team’s UX work at NYU, creating a final prototype for a food budgeting app designed for people navigating rising grocery and dining costs in New York City—where high prices and a lack of accessible, practical tools can make it difficult to manage food spending. The app was built around the idea that budgeting is emotional, not just mathematical. Many users may understand they need a plan, but still struggle to stay consistent because of habits, stress, and social pressures.

Using a calendar-based method, the prototype supports users with a clearer path forward, helping them build sustainable routines and feel more in control of their food costs. My role involved organizing our team’s files and materials, including research content and interview documentation.
