Ethnographic Study Unmet Need


Need more organized system for storage of cooking tools.




Need to use less disposable items in the kitchen.




Need to locate ingredients in fridge/cabinets




Need easier way to communicate cooking instructions




Need to reduce user’s resource consumption


Proposal


An app that works with a system of devices in the kitchen to give users knowledge of their resource consumption.


Proposal


The application will track how much users waste in terms of electrical energy. Making them more self conscious of their daily kitchen use.


Proposal


The application will break down the user’s daily use by day, month, and year allowing users to track their resource use over time. Users will be aware of how

much money their consumption habits are costing them.
