Designing novel display components for tiffin service integration

To bridge the gap between traditional meal rituals and modern logistics, I developed a speculative design integration for Tiffin services within a high-scale food delivery ecosystem. By conducting a rigorous audit of existing design system patterns, I maintained structural efficiency—leveraging 70% of established components while engineering a 30% suite of custom, net-new features like "Order Window Calendars" and relationship-based subscription models. This project addresses the unique operational constraints of batch cooking through a two-window ordering architecture, successfully shifting the user experience from a one-off transaction to a predictable, recurring connection between local providers and their community.

Accomplishments

Systemic Audit & Pattern Evolution: Practiced high design restraint by repurposing the majority of an established design system, focusing creative effort solely on the 30% of net-new components—such as temporal grid layouts—required to support a non-on-demand service model.
Constraint-Driven UX Architecture: Solved for the physical limitations of batch cooking by engineering a "Two-Window" ordering system, utilizing a custom weekly calendar UI and automated notification triggers to align user behavior with provider production schedules.
Cultural & Relational Design: Transformed the provider-user dynamic from a standard transaction to a "subscription-first" model, prioritizing trust-building elements and storytelling components to authentically digitize a century-old, relationship-based meal service.
