Foodlink: Grocery Management App Design for International Students at Dormitories
As South Korea’s international presence continues to grow, the number of international students pursuing their education in the country has steadily increased, recently surpassing 200,000. However, these students often experience lower food security compared to local residents. This issue is particularly evident among those living in shared accommodations, such as dormitories or boarding houses, where individual food storage and management are limited.
Before designing the application, we conducted user research to better understand the needs of our target audience. The application design focuses on two key functions: it helps users overcome language barriers in cooking by recommending and explaining dishes based on color, making it easier for them to prepare meals and discover foods that match their tastes. Additionally, it promotes the effective use of shared spaces by enabling students to exchange leftover ingredients and engage in communal cooking.
< Foodlink > is a personal design project, but the user study was carried out by a group of researchers, including myself.
