BizCom App

A unified business communication app for Spine Software that intelligently integrates chat, email, SMS, calls, documents, and to-dos into a single interface, complete with a custom mascot and a color-coded notification system.

That's the whole thing.

I designed BizCom in twenty seventeen for Spine Software, the company I founded. Communication inside a company breaks apart. Chat in one app, email in another. SMS, calls, documents, and to-dos each somewhere different. BizCom pulls all of that into one uniform interface.

The mascot is Chatty. His body spells B, I, Z, C, O, M. A friendly face for a productivity tool. Approachable, not corporate.

Every notification is color-coded. Green for calls, red for SMS, orange for chat, navy for email, light blue for to-dos, purple when several arrive at once. At a glance, you know what arrived. That reduces the load.

I worked in CorelDRAW and Adobe tools, across branding and app design. BizCom shipped on Android and iOS.

The overview, or the fuller process story.

I designed BizCom in 2017 for Spine Software, the company I founded two years earlier to bring digital transformation to traditional businesses.

The problem was concrete: inside any company, communication fractures across too many channels. A colleague might send a call, then follow with an SMS, then drop a note in chat, then forward something by email. Each channel sits in its own silo. That fragmentation costs attention – every switch is a small tax on the person trying to get work done.

BizCom brings all of it into one uniform interface: chat, email, SMS, calls, documents, and to-dos. The color-coded notification system does a lot of the heavy lifting. Green signals a call, red an SMS, orange a chat, navy an email, light blue a to-do, and purple arrives when several types stack up at once. You can triage at a glance, without opening each app, which reduces cognitive load.

I also designed Chatty, BizCom’s mascot. Chatty’s body spells out B-I-Z-C-O-M, letter by letter, with a friendly face on top. A productivity tool can feel cold; I wanted something approachable instead.

The design work spanned branding and app screens, built across CorelDRAW, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Adobe Comp. BizCom shipped on Android and iOS.
