From maze to map: Designing an intelligent meeting scheduler with indoor navigation.
The app helps employees schedule meetings effortlessly while intelligently suggesting available rooms based on proximity, availability, and relevance. It also assists users in navigating office spaces with turn-by-turn indoor directions. For forward planners, Nueroom goes a step further by showing room usage heatmaps — highlighting peak usage hours to help users make smarter booking decisions.

problem
While working at Media.net, I noticed how frustrating it was to find and book meeting rooms, even in a single-building office. Employees often struggled with double bookings, unclear availability, and locating rooms in time. There was no centralized system, and no visibility into when rooms were typically busy — turning simple meetings into avoidable hassles.
solution
I designed Nuerum — a minimalist app that simplifies meeting scheduling and room navigation for large office spaces. It lets users book rooms in seconds, view real-time availability, and get turn-by-turn directions. A key feature is the room usage heatmap, which helps users plan smarter by showing when rooms are usually in high demand. Inspired by the precision and speed of the BMW S1000RR, Nuerum brings efficiency and clarity to everyday office workflows.
What if a meeting app took design cues from a sports bike? Sounds crazy, right? But that’s exactly what I did. Inspired by my dream machine "BMW S1000RR", I crafted an experience that’s fast, sleek, and precision-driven. From the UI elements to the flow and colour palette, every detail channels the spirit of this two-wheeled beast.
The idea sparked during my time at Media.net, where I worked in a single-building office setup. Despite being under one roof, finding a free room — or just locating the right one — often turned into a scavenger hunt. Here's what I uncovered through informal interviews and observation:
Pain points identified:
Employees spent 3–5 minutes on average just locating rooms.
No centralised platform to check room availability in real time.
Frequent overlapping bookings or miscommunication.
Poor visibility into future room availability, especially during peak times.
Who I designed for:
Office employees in mid-to-large organisations
Admins or ops teams managing meeting spaces
New employees or visiting teams unfamiliar with the layout
The core problem was inefficient meeting scheduling and navigation in physical office spaces. I mapped out common journeys from scheduling a meeting to walking into the right room — identifying all potential friction points.
Design inspiration
Just like the BMW S1000RR, Nuerum’s design aimed to reflect:
Speed → Fast booking flow (under 30 seconds)
Precision → Real-time room availability with clear visual cues
Minimalism → A clean interface with no visual noise
Conclusion
Nuerum is more than just a scheduling tool — it’s a design experiment that merges functionality with speed-inspired aesthetics. By solving a real pain point with a performance-first mindset, the app proves that workplace tools can be both beautiful and highly efficient.
The addition of the room usage heatmap made Nuerum not only reactive but proactive — empowering users to schedule smarter and move faster. This project reminded me that even small workplace annoyances can become powerful design opportunities, especially when combined with personal passion (and a love for superbikes).
