Indoor navigation without a single beacon.

Turn-by-turn AR guidance from camera-only positioning. I was lead product designer across web, mobile and wearables.

01 / the brief

GPS fails indoors, where getting lost costs the most.

Problem

GPS and beacons fail indoors. aryve uses camera-only visual positioning.

Constraints

No beacons · three surfaces in sync · legible under stress · engineer-ready specs.

My work

Passenger app (web + mobile), AR-glasses view, Studio authoring platform, design system.

Decision

A world-locked chevron and path show direction. A 2D band shows the next turn.

02 / the decision, shown

Direction anchored in the world.

aryve AR navigation — world-anchored chevron and dotted path with a minimal 2D band: gate, distance, time, mini-map
Chevron for direction, a 2D band for gate, distance and time. Own design.
03 / the studio platform

The platform behind every deployment.

In Studio, venue staff build the navigation without code: paths in the 3D model, AR content, locations, users. Enterprise UX for spatial work on a flat screen.

04 / the design system

One system, one source of truth.

One token set and component library for web, mobile and wearables. Every engineer built from it, so I kept pace with the platform, CV and front-end teams. It later became a living document with tokens and components as code.

The living document: a live site that gives engineers tokens and components as code. Own design.
The aryve design system board — typography, colour, spacing, icons and the full component library: buttons, cards, forms, navigation, tables, modals, sidebars and more
Type, colour, spacing, icons and components, shared across every surface.
05 / accessibility & workflow

Accessibility from the start, AI to move faster.

Accessibility from the start: contrast, target sizes, screen-reader flows, low-vision guidance. As the only designer, I used an AI-assisted workflow to explore faster, with AI output labelled.

06 / outcome

What it added up to.
