Initially, for my thesis project, I wanted to explore the relationship between food and culture, specifically how food can influence and preserve culture as well as how culture influences and preserve ways of eating and cooking. Through my initial research into this topic, I was able to uncover insights that helped me understand how people have built a relationship with food throughout history and how different cultures have different ways of preparing and eating food which allowed them to establish distinct cultural identities. These cultural identities are therefore maintained and reinforced by practising these food preparation and eating rituals which also fosters commensality. After conducting research and doing design sprints, I came up with the idea of creating an app called RoundTable. Roundtable is designed to help promote the understanding and appreciation of cultures through food as well as foster social connection by bringing people together to share, eat and connect.
