Lemon Water is a podcast and creative consultancy founded by Michelle Siman, centered on intentional living and holistic wellness. In collaboration, we developed a printed food combining wheel—an educational tool designed to guide users in pairing foods in ways that support optimal digestion. Food combining is a nutritional approach that considers how different food groups interact in the digestive process, aiming to reduce bloating and improve nutrient absorption.
The Wheel
The final piece is a layered, interactive wheel that spins to reveal which food combinations are ideal—or best avoided—based on a selected ingredient. Users rotate the top layer to align one food group with another, exposing clear visual cues that indicate compatibility. Visually, the wheel takes inspiration from vintage fruit illustrations and old-school health charts, creating a nostalgic yet modern aesthetic. We incorporated Lemon Water’s signature green to root the design in Michelle’s brand, resulting in a tactile, educational object that blends utility with beauty.
