Summary
This application was made to aid Australians with the ability to be able to grow and cook their own produce.
Problem
People experience a significant disconnect between their food production and consumption.
Interviews
Interviews were conducted with interviewees that have different backgrounds. These interviews were the main source of information and they provided me with a lot of insight.
Key Quotes
“Starting out to plant produce is hard”
“I think gardening is fun and I would like to do it properly”
“Would like to learn more about gardening”
“I don’t want to start planting”
Findings
Gardening should be introduced as fun and shouldn’t take too much time and effort
The information given should be thorough and that there should be some level of satisfaction
The more useful information about the plant would be best
Growing your own produce should be deemed as open to everyone
Personas
There were four personas made for each of the major user groups. The personas were created with the information collected from the interviews

Solution
Reflection
With this project I had to perform many tasks in a short time frame. Moving forward I would like to continue to explore multiple aesthetics incorporating watercolour
Later I would like to improve some of the functionality of the application and work on the recipe and organiser pages, refining them further.
