Exploring interactions.

Through in-depth investigations into how the Nest device conveys different states to users, we actively contributed to the development of the Farsight feature, enabling users to engage with the Nest device effortlessly from across the room.

Enriching information.

We delved into and crafted the integration of weather and time-of-day elements into the app UI, ultimately providing users with the ability to gain insights into the environmental conditions influencing their thermostat settings.

Ensuring consistency.

Through precise implementation of a well-established design language, we ensured seamless compatibility and upheld a consistent user experience across diverse devices, platforms, orientations, transitions, and states.
