Fresh Start: Helping friends transition into a healthy lifestyle through shared cooking

 

Experience Prototype videos

The following videos document various experience prototypes we ran while designing the Fresh Start service. Insights gained from each iteration helped us to further develop and refine the service for the next implementation.

We ran a total of four experience prototypes during this seven-week project, but could easily have continued to run them past the establishment of the project as a business.

Fresh Start Kiosk

The Fresh Start kiosk was prepared as a supplement to the Fresh Start poster shown at the Emergence 2006 Service Design conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The kiosk displayed the experience prototype videos and information about their value and purpose.
