Case Study - Healthy Recipe Finder

Overview

NutriFind is a healthy recipe finder designed to help users quickly discover nutritious meals that fit their lifestyle and preferences. The project focuses on delivering a clear, intuitive user experience while presenting complex data in a simple and accessible way.

The application was built as a frontend web application using Vite, with emphasis on interactive UI behavior, responsive design, state management, and maintainable component architecture.
