FrankenFruit

Fruit farm identity

from maps to ux to juice labels
Intro

FrankenFruit is my family’s pick-your-own fruit farm. I’m responsible for everything that has to do with digital and design, from the initial idea to production.

Since I was a kid, I’ve been working on my family’s fruit farm. Nowadays, I manage the design, build out our website, run Meta ad campaigns, create everything from product labels to the farm map. It’s a little bit like a playground where I can try out new things and see what works, which provides me with valuable direct feedback from our customers.

The Work

The map is key to customers finding their way around the farm and creating a "sense of place".

ux research results

One of pain points that came out of the research was that visitors often couldn’t find the products they wanted, or they were unsure what they cost. People generally don’t want to be a burden so we needed a bold way to present them with the information they need across multiple touch-points.
