Overview
Kezpezfood is a food blog that originally started on Instagram. I founded the blog 6 years ago. I post restaurant recommendations, promote food product companies, and collaborated with multiple LA based restaurants. I have more than 2k followers on Instagram and more than 200k views on one of my video posts.
| I fully coded and product designed the entire database driven website.
| There are 4 pages, a home page, a LA recommendation page, a cafe page, a page about Korean food in LA.

01. The Problem and Motivation
| What’s the emerging problem and challenge?
More people started to ask me for restaurant recommendations. Therefore, I began to write a list of food recommendations in my notes app. However, the notes app became very long and messy. I would send them the link and then let them scroll through it. There were no images either.
| What's the background?
I've have my Instagram page for years, and I started to become the designated foodie within my friends. Anytime somebody was looking where to eat, they would text me. When people would visit the cities I lived in, they would ask me for a list of places to eat at. People started sending me food videos and would tell me to check out those restaurants.
| What's the goal?
This year I was determined to help my users find the best restaurants around the city in a user-friendly way. I desired to create a website that will display my Instagram page and my notes in an organized manner. I also hope to help my users easily navigate through the website.
