FreshDirect iPad App
Led design of an award-winning iPad app for New York’s biggest online grocer
Product Strategy, UI Design, Art Direction
Overview
FreshDirect had long established its brand as the go-to online grocer in New York City
Looking to improve their mobile shopping experience across the board, FreshDirect saw the iPad as a blank slate to create new ways for customers to shop.
I was hired by FreshDirect’s growth strategy firm MACHINE to supplement the team as the Lead Product Designer. Working alongside MACHINE’s team, leaders at FreshDirect, and their development partner, Door3, we created an iPad experience that matched the quality of Fresh Direct’s carefully sourced food.
The design won a Webby Award for Best Tablet Shopping Experience.
Essentials
Grocery shopping typically involves grabbing the essentials first, so we put the customer’s frequently ordered items right at their fingertips.
Storefronts
Smaller in-app stores designed with custom photography and badges echoed real-world shopping.
We shared our ideas with customers early in the process
Below are some highlights of new product improvements that resonated most.
Navigation
A collapsing navigation pattern allows customers to quickly jump in and out of storefronts and categories.
Cooking inspiration
Customers can find recipes, cooking tips and tricks, and producer stories all in one place.
Streamlined checkout
At checkout, customers can view and edit their delivery information, address and payment info, and then checkout with a single tap.
