Note From Adam

πŸ‘‹ Hi Designers,

❀️

I hope you're healthy and doing well. For those who've lost loved ones or jobs, I'm so sorry. πŸ˜”

Food fuels us.

Since the start of shelter-in-place orders, food delivery has become a necessity for millions.

With an explosion of demand, the design of apps including Instacart, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and others have been tested and pushed to new extremes.

In this contest we ask, "How might we improve food ordering and delivery through app design changes?"
