Concept Development, Sensor Hardware Integration, Dashboard UX/UI & System Architecture
Steelcase Workplace Advisor is a pioneering IoT-driven spatial analytics platform designed to help organizations bridge the gap between "Big Data" and actionable workplace insights. As the first vision for smart and connected devices within the Steelcase ecosystem, the platform utilizes high-precision sensing technology and a cloud-enabled dashboard to track how, when, and why people use office spaces.
Role & Contribution
The Problem: Addressed the common workplace friction of "ghost meetings," partial occupancy, and inefficient space utilization.
Strategic Design: Developed comprehensive user journeys based on observational studies to understand how people move through a physical environment.
Behavioral Nudges: Concepted "non-verbal cues" and signaling elements—such as soft nudges and at-a-glance totem displays—to guide users through monitored spaces and notify them of room availability or upcoming bookings without being intrusive.
Designed the end-to-end system architecture and high-fidelity dashboard UI, translating complex spatial data into actionable insights across mobile, web, and physical totem displays.
