I created the initial designs for the Good Food Yard website based on a project brief and supplied information architecture.

Looking back, I wondered if there are any areas of potential growth they are missing out on. I thought a proto persona exercise would help give me a better insight into the customer's needs and goals. Thanks for the great course!

The 5 Why’s

I love healthy, organic meals that taste great and that I can organise in advance.

Finding time to cook healthy meals is difficult with my busy work life. Being able to organise them for the week is a great time saver.

I can then spend more time with friends, family and working out my frustrations in the gym.

A good work life balance is important to mental health and wellbeing.

In todays fast pace of life, it is important to keep relationships and have a fulfilled lifestyle.

Meet Vicki Campbell
