Interaction prototypes 2024-25

Context

A design exploration focused on reimagining the calendar as a central and interactive workspace. The project started from real pain points shared by managers, founders, and individual contributors who spend their days in back-to-back meetings. I prototyped the experience in Figma and built a working frontend client with real calendar data to test interaction flow and UI behaviour.

Problem

Calendars showed when meetings happened but not what they were for. People had to switch between tools to find agendas, take notes, or follow up on action items. This constant jumping around led to lost context, duplicated work, and things falling through the cracks. The problem was not missing features. It was fragmentation.

Approach

Through interviews and working sessions with managers, founders, and individual contributors, we uncovered where their workflows broke down. How context slipped between tools and where focus was lost. Together, we mapped the flow of a typical day and explored ways to bring more continuity to meetings, notes, and follow-ups. The design process focused on reducing friction and supporting a more fluid and connected rhythm of work.

Clicking a calendar event reveals meeting tools in the center panel, including tasks and an AI-powered note taker. The transcript is captured from system audio and summarized in real time, giving you control to review or edit notes before the meeting ends.

Sidepanel spacing exploration.

Custom checkmark tailored for task completion.

Tasks sit at the center, flexible by default. Some are ready to schedule, others still taking shape. Drag to the calendar to block focused time. Drag to the side panel when you want the system to find time for you. This creates a more fluid workflow that adapts as decisions are made.

The Incoming view brings together all your tasks from meetings. Each task stays linked to its calendar event, with quick actions to mark as important or snooze.
