Problem
How to create a user-friendly system that allows customers to easily explore, customise, and enjoy new coffee flavours while ensuring that the process aligns with the fast-paced lifestyle of New Yorkers.
Solution
To develop a comprehensive and user-friendly system that provides seamless access to "about time" coffee across multiple platforms such as Mobile App, Web H5, In-Store Touch Screens and website, enabling customers to explore, customise, and enjoy new flavours effortlessly.

Branding definition
User Research
We use a combination of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews to gather detailed demographic data from our users. This data helps us build comprehensive user personas, scenarios, and understand their goals and frustrations. By combining quantitative insights from the questionnaires with qualitative depth from the interviews, we ensure that our personas and scenarios are grounded in real user experiences and accurately reflect the needs, motivations, and pain points of our target audience.
Design System and Style
We created a design system that would not only build the consistency but also save time for the future job. This will improve the overall process and experience for the application.
