TOOLS

CONTEXT
Every guest you add becomes another column inside the same day.
Guests slot into your week, so one fixed view carries every schedule at once.
1
Only a seven-day grid, with no day or month toggle.
2
You can only read one person's schedule at a time, by hovering.
3
Guests and Find Time feature live in this panel.

THE PROBLEM SPACE
Users love Superhuman Mail, but then leave to schedule.
Six interviews and the team's existing research showed me what the two problems in my scope actually looked like in use.
1
Hard to read
"The events become blobs where you can't see any details or context."
-ELMORE, CHAN ZUCKERBERG INITIATIVE
2
Struggles to find shared time
“I use Google Calendar because it’s easy to search for availability."
-CANDACE, SUPERHUMAN
RESCOPING
Find Time had no one to find time for.
Six of six interviewees couldn't read a week with only three guests added, so they left to schedule on Google Calendar or Outlook instead.
I reprioritized my scope and proposed four view controls ahead of it, each independently shippable. My design manager, PM, and engineers agreed with the new sequence, then reordered the four features.

THE SOLUTIONS
Four new views that bring
focus
to a crowded week
Hide Weekends, Hide Sidebar, and Day View are built on patterns familiar from tools like Google Calendar and Outlook. Final screens for these three are still being refined post-internship, so they're not included yet.
Expand a Day is a new feature, and its final design is under NDA.
