Those with food allergies often struggle to find restaurants and specialty food shops that can accommodate their dietary needs. Limited access to clear, reliable information from places like bakeries and cafés makes it difficult to choose dining options based on safety, availability, and quality.

People with Big 8 food allergies often struggle to find restaurants and specialty food shops that meet their dietary needs. A lack of accessible, reliable information—especially from places like bakeries, cafés, and donut shops—makes it difficult to choose safe and enjoyable dining options.

This project aimed to design an app that empowers users with food allergies to confidently discover and enjoy food, worry-free.

The project began as a timeline concept but quickly evolved into a full microsite once it became clear that Dana-Farber’s legacy couldn’t be told through dates alone. To create a more meaningful and engaging experience, the content was restructured around thematic pillars: History, Research, and Impact.

Information was intentionally broken into digestible sections—highlighting Dana-Farber today, major research milestones, the story of the Jimmy Fund, and key collaborators. This approach provided users with entry points tailored to their interests while maintaining a cohesive narrative. The microsite format allowed for a richer content experience, more dynamic visuals, and long-term scalability.
