WHY DELIVERY-PARTNERS?
Delivery partners are the backbone of the food delivery ecosystem. They are the ones who "drive the business." Without them, Grab's on-demand food delivery service wouldn't exist.
BACKGROUND
GrabFood launched in May 2018, marking a pivotal shift for Grab beyond ride-hailing. This expansion solidified Grab’s position as Southeast Asia’s leading super app, catering to everyday needs.
MY ROLE
As the pioneer and lead designer for the delivery-partner experience, I had the privilege of working with a dynamic team between 2018 and 2020. My mission was to create a seamless user experience for delivery-partners, ensuring their tasks aligned with the business goals.
