CONTEXT
Kin·fare is a mobile kitchen experience designed to cut food waste and spark connection in cities. Created in a team of four, the concept transforms tour buses into modern cooking hubs, each equipped with four micro-kitchens for paired participants to prep and share a meal. The digital platform matches users by dietary preferences, city, and partner preference. I originated the core idea, designed the micro-kitchen tour bus, co-led experience mapping, and shaped the final storytelling. The project blends sustainability, design thinking, and social connection into one communal food experience.
