The problem
A smart-office platform across many surfaces — different contexts, one product feel.
The outcome
Flows that ship in upcoming Nimway releases across panels, kiosks, wayfinding, and the booking app.
The problem.
Nimway is Sony's smart-office platform. Thousands of users across many countries — from small teams to enterprises with thousands of seats — depend on it daily to find rooms, navigate floors, book resources, and run their day. The product is a constellation of surfaces: physical panels mounted next to meeting rooms, no-login TouchPlan kiosks in lobbies, wayfinding screens on each floor, and a booking app on every employee's phone.
Each surface lives in a different context. A panel sits at eye level next to a door — its job is glance-readability and a single tap. A TouchPlan kiosk gets walked up to by a visitor with no account and no time to learn it. A floor-plan screen has to be parseable from across a room. The booking app has to do everything, on a phone, while someone is walking. The design challenge is keeping these surfaces feeling like one product without flattening them into the same screen.
I worked across the panels, TouchPlan, wayfinding screens, and the booking app — pushing patterns to be consistent where consistency helps the user, and to diverge where the context demands it. The flows I designed are landing in upcoming Nimway releases; everything visual is under NDA, so this page sits without screens for now.
What I worked on.
Meeting room panels — booking, status, and at-a-glance occupancy at every door
TouchPlan kiosks — no-login navigation and resource booking for visitors and quick employees
Wayfinding screens — floor-plan displays that surface available rooms and resources at lobby and floor level
Booking app — find a room, manage your day, book on the move
Nimway serves thousands of users across many countries — from small teams to large enterprises. The flows I designed are rolling into upcoming releases, but the visuals themselves are NDA. Happy to walk through specific decisions and trade-offs on a call — drop me a line.
