the problem
How can Sabin create a welcoming user journey without human attendants – using only a digital interface?

How can all of the Sabin's public environments translate the new rebranding?​​​​​​​
the brief
Design the space experience of 4 prototypes (digital unit + 3 standard units), translating the Sabin's new Design System (rebranding). After that, develop a Guidebook with design guidelines to standardize the space experience of all of the units and future units.
Digital unit specific briefing:
– Develop a strategic space experience of a complete digital service: without any human help.
– Openness to bring innovative ideas and suggestions of other disciplines, such as: UX/UI, AI integration.
