In 2021 I had an opportunity to work with a team of amazing people from Portugal. Their product U-find was already  developed at many levels, but they needed a corporate look for their startup company and all their products.

Who are U-find

U-find offers solutions for remote & hybrid work environment management of office workspaces, shopping center visitors with monitoring and spaces analysis, measuring & detecting real-time customer presence, customer mapping and occupancy monitoring with advanced wi-fi & user analytics. Their web platform and a mobile app solution help keep track of people and places to make both more efficient and useful in terms of space and time management.

The target personas are split on several parts based on their tasks:

• individuals, who want to book free desks and office tools
• groups of people, who want to book offices and presentation rooms for meetings together with office supplies
• corporate individuals, whose job is to monitor and regulate occupancy of spaces (especially during early Covid-19 era)
• companies and stores, who want to monitor how customers move around their spaces for better efficiency

My work for U-find

My work on U-find includes:

• making a design system in Figma,
• making a web app prototype in Figma,
• making a mobile app prototype in Figma,
• making a website design prototype
• logo corrections and marketing materials design for trade shows and promotion.

First I defined brand identity guidelines and the design system with components in Figma, then transferred it to all needed designs in form of prototypes for developer handover.

We were using Miro and Mural as main cooperation tools throughout the whole project.

The design system

The design system was pretty basic, because we wanted to achieve a clean look, which will be paired with more complex charts and graphs, indicating space occupation, free and booked time slots, etc.

The state of U-find solution

On April 2023, U-find was acquired by Crowdkeep, an IoT platform, that empowers users to make fast, informed decisions about people, assets, and conditions throughout the workplace. Read more about the acquisition on Crowdkeep’s website: https://crowdkeep.com/news/ufind/
