Project Overview
CakeWake is a multi-role platform designed for the cake ordering ecosystem, connecting customers, delivery partners, and vendors through a seamless digital experience. The platform allows users to order custom cakes, track deliveries, and manage vendor operations efficiently.
My Contribution
As the UI Designer, I was responsible for crafting the user interface for all three core apps:
User App: Designed intuitive, visually appealing, and easy-to-navigate screens for customers to browse, customize, and order cakes.
Delivery Partner App: Created streamlined UI for order pickup, delivery tracking, and real-time status updates.
Vendor App: Designed an interface for vendors to manage inventory, accept orders, update delivery timelines, and view analytics.
My Design Process for this app
Although my core role was UI design, I followed a structured process:
Discussed the basic requirements and user flows with the client.
Built low-fidelity wireframes for layout clarity.
Created high-fidelity mockups and interactive prototypes in Figma.
Applied brand colors and typography to match the client’s vision.
