Product School Final Project NYT Cooking app
At the beginning of 2021, I signed up for a Product Management Certification course with the Product School. It was a 8-week course that met 2 times a week. I honed my product skills and learned a lot of new skills. For my final project I focused on the New York Times Cooking app. I love the app and use it frequently. I noticed that due to the deep library of recipes, many older recipes lack a introductory photo. After considering different options I explored an MVP on how NYT app users can add their own photo to “no photo recipes.”

Taking the above wire frames into Invision, I created a prototype to demonstrate how user photos could be added to the app. I also considered the NYT art department would have specifications and included an approval process so the photography would be at a quality and style that the NYT considered helpful.
