Product Designer

The Company

A better place to collaborate,

Nooks is the place where teams and communities come together to work, play, and hang.

Brainstorm, whiteboard or sticky-note ideas, or collaborate on documents, slides and spreadsheets.

Start video meetings with an icebreaker, sit with your friends at events and whisper without leaving the group. Present on stage, create breakout sessions and bring people back together.

Mix it up on the roof deck, join a group on the patio or crash in the hallway or kitchen.

Tailor your desk to show who you are; add music or sounds to create a vibe.

A more human way to work

Remember what it was like to have a normal conversation that wasn’t scheduled? When inspiration strikes and you need to bounce ideas, find a mate and pop on in. Nooks helps you and your team make real connections and build relationships that lead to results.

Different Nooks for different looks

Great things happen in the right place at the right time. Shape your company culture by creating & customizing environments for huddles, meetings, parties, hallway chats, events and classes - all under one virtual roof.
