about.
Livin is a personal chef and meal service targeting the LA market, connecting busy professionals and families with personal chefs for in-home dining experiences. I came in to build the design system from the ground up and design the key customer-facing flows: onboarding, menu browsing and selection, and the household dashboard. The design challenge was finding that balance between warmth and accessibility without the product feeling aspirational or out of reach.
challenge.
Personal chef services carry a lot of baggage. They read as expensive, exclusive, and hard to access. Livin needed to flip that perception and position the experience as a form of self-care and everyday ease, not a status symbol.
At the same time, the platform had real operational complexity underneath. Chefs needed clear prep information. Customers needed intuitive menu selection. Households with multiple members needed a dashboard that made sense at a glance.
The design system had to hold all of that together, across brand, marketing, and product, without feeling like it was patched from multiple directions.
