Introducing
A user-friendly app that empowers kids to communicate food allergies while keeping parents informed in real time.
Overview
AllerPal
AllerPal is a digital companion designed for children with food allergies and the adults supporting them. The goal was to create a visual system that feels warm, legible, and easy to act on in stressful dining situations.
From the first interaction to real-world use, the project balances playful branding with clear communication, making safety information more accessible for both kids and parents.

Food allergy communication for children
A friendlier, more reassuring dining experience
Visual Direction
Research & Strategy
Meet Emily and her daughter Lina, two users navigating the everyday challenge of dining out with food allergies. As a single mother, Emily worries about emergency situations and hopes Lina can become more independent in managing her dairy allergy.
Parents need a faster way to help children understand menus, filter risky ingredients, and communicate clearly with staff in noisy, stressful restaurant environments.
The app combines scanning, AI assistance, menu simplification, and parent-friendly updates into one calm experience that supports safer dining decisions.

AllerScan
One of the strongest touchpoints in the project is the scanning experience, where children can quickly point the camera at a menu and get a clearer, safer read of what they can order.
