How to Think Like a Food Designer (Even If You Burn Toast)

How to Think Like a Food Designer (Even If You Burn Toast)

Design isn’t just how a product looks—it’s how it feels, functions, and flows.

You don’t need to be an artist to design your food business. You just need to ask the right questions:

  • What problem does my product solve?
  • What experience do I want my customer to have?
  • How do I want people to feel when they taste, hold, and share it?

Thinking like a food designer means zooming out and building with intention—from flavour to form to packaging and beyond.

And the best part? PEI is full of creative food ecosystem collaborators ready to help you prototype, test, and bring it all to life.

Let us help you design with heart, and scale with purpose: foodislandpei.ca
