Back in 2017, Yash Srivastava and Zainab Siddique, my seniors, co-founded feeding trends. I was in 6th semester, enjoying some home time during summer vacation, got a call from Yash sir and I was asked to do a logo design for Feeding Trends. I remember it was a long call. Moving forward, logo designing is tough, I took my time and did textual logo, used a Sans font, outlined it, played around arrow, to make it feel like trendy stuff and yeah Finished. We moved forward with the logo design and updated the logo on Facebook, Instagram etc. FT got recognized and people started sharing our stuff and yeah it was great start.

Later on after 2 month I joined FeedingTrends while still managing my time around college and working at feeding Trends Office. Bunking classes just to work on outgoing projects at FT office or from my flat. It was Beginnings of something great.

Feeding Trends initial website was already up and running, After our initial success with the website, acquiring some user base we started getting feedback from users about technical problems, readability issue, and many more problems. Then, people around the team felt a need of redesigning the website from scratch. This is were I came. We began pinpointing the areas where we need to start, discussing technical constraints, and possible approach to design. The objective was set to improving the overall UX, Create a positive user journey that aligns also with marketing strategy.

After gaining some user insights from our initial observation and research. We all came together, to discuss the website priorities, whats to focus most, how to implement best practices, technical constraints. We focused on asking the right question and we with our diverse background, traits and characteristics able to produce results that helped us with our initial strategy. It's challenging to gain the perspective to find design solutions. Many meeting were held to discuss the same with all the team, designers and developers, we decided to go with making a mvp. Ideated mind maps and wireframes.

Open> XD> Design. The first thing I designed was the content page. This page laid the foundation for the overall page. So it was very important for me to get it right. This page is first thing any user visits whenever he/she follow a journey of coming to website thorough the link shared to them on WhatsApp, Facebook etc. So, It got my first priority. After going through some similar websites, Behance and doing a heuristic analysis of them, I developed my initial insights and findings. I shared those with the team to discuss and set priorities, I began with some initial layout focused to enrich user reading experience, experimenting with font size, colour, contrast till getting it right.

I experimented with different layouts to put everything together, got feedback from team and designed som high feudality mockup and test it through Adobe XD prototyping, Made prototype, tested it and finally we got to the points where me and team agreed to stick to one layout and moved forward to design further pages and adding required details.

Putting all the research and I started making high feudality design for the website starting with its content page then moving forward from there to Home page and every other page. I did a simple prototype connecting all the pages navigation.

When web design was done and I handover everything to developer from design assets to documentation of it. I started working on its brand identity to be used for business proposes of the company. Designed Letterhead, Visiting card, Id card, made mockups and everything in between.
