The Problem
With the increased productivity of professionals, a lot more people find it inconvenient to cook or prepare their own meals. At “CookFix”, we want to empower people to learn professional level cooking techniques through immersive cooking videos and tutorials.
Some users expressed the desire to learn proper cooking techniques to avoid burning or messing up and reduce amount of food they waste.
I interviewed participants to get an understanding of how they felt about preparing food. During this phase of the process, I was trying to gain understanding of different users and what it meant to “cook”. I did this through a short survey. All in all there were 22 people who participated.

Sitemap
After I was able to gain understanding from users, I started drafting the sitemap of the website, with the main navigation being: Cook, Bake, Account and Search.
