Making reliable vegan-friendly places easier to discover.
Veganro is a location-based service for finding vegan-friendly places with clear dietary labels and community reviews.I shaped the user journey from information architecture and UI design through frontend implementation, translating the concept into a working MVP.
How can users find vegan-friendly places without manually verifying every venue?
Mainstream map services offered limited vegan-specific information, leaving users to verify menus through scattered reviews and blogs.
Research showed that users needed more than location search—they needed clear dietary information and trustworthy community input in one place.
Location-based discovery with clear vegan context
Veganro combines nearby search, dietary labels, reviews, and community-submitted places so users can evaluate options without switching between multiple sources.

Mapped user goals, screens, and content hierarchy before moving into detailed UI design.
Mapped the map-to-search journey and identified the need to preserve dietary filters across screens.
Map-to-search flow with persistent dietary filters
Built and launched an MVP in 3 weeks
Designed, developed, and deployed the working service within a three-week sprint.
Delivered the core journey end to end
Connected map discovery, dietary filters, reviews, and place submissions into one experience.
What I learned?
Map the journey before designing the screens
Mapping the search journey early revealed that dietary filters needed to persist between the map and search results.
Defining the flow first helped us structure shared state before implementation rather than solving it screen by screen.
Design with implementation in mind
Working across UI design and frontend development made UX and implementation trade-offs easier to evaluate.
A lightweight design system also helped us keep the interface consistent within a short delivery window.
