Attendar
2020–23

Attendar·Designed the web platform and mobile app for Attendar, a free scheduling tool covering 1-on-1 invites, group availability polls, and recurring booking pages. The work ran from meeting creation through the dashboard, calendar, meeting detail views, and all the guest-facing booking and voting flows. I also designed the marketing site.

A spread of Attendar interface components — availability poll rows, the weekly calendar with voting overlays, an invitation card, the time-slot picker, and the share-invite link sheet

The design challenge was holding three scheduling patterns in one product. A 1-on-1 invite, a group poll, and a booking page synced to a live calendar each have different controls, audiences, and pace. The work was making them feel like one product across desktop and mobile, not three apps under a shared logo.

The calendar became the unifying interface. The host uses it to mark availability and propose times; guests use the same surface to vote, pick a slot, or check their conflicts; the dashboard reads from it. Each context strips back to the controls it needs, but the spatial logic stays constant.

A second constraint shaped almost every screen. Because the product had to work fully without an account, most flows have parallel variants for hosts and guests, and for signed-in and anonymous users. Making each one feel first-class on its own terms, rather than a degraded version of another, was its own design problem.
