The idea
One device. Multiple professional identities.
Presence is being developed as a premium digital business card for professionals who operate in more than one context. The intended experience is simple: configure profiles, switch between them on the device and share the selected details by tap or scan.
The target design
Two sides.
One introduction.
Front
A full-screen business card
Your name, role, photo and a QR code, shown on the card itself. Switch profiles and the screen changes with you.
Back
Tap to share
Hold a phone to the back and the selected profile opens. No app needed on the other side.
Concept renders of the target design. Behaviour is being validated on the first prototype.
Presence app / How it works
Your card, set up from your phone.
Connect the card, give each profile a link and a picture, then switch and share with a tap. Pick a step to see it happen.
01Open the Presence app and put the card in pairing mode. The app finds it over Bluetooth and remembers it for next time.

Prototype shown. Animation, not a screen recording.
The companion app
Built alongside the card.
The Presence app for iOS and Android is how a card is set up. It talks to the card over Bluetooth, and everything it sets (links, pictures and which profile is which) is stored on the card itself, so sharing works without the phone.
First version written. It will be tested with the first prototype boards and is not yet in the App Store or Google Play.
- 01Finds the card over Bluetooth, and reconnects to the last one
- 02Four profiles, each with its own link and tap count
- 03A picture per profile, with the QR code placed where you want it
- 04Battery level and card details at a glance
Ideas we are exploring: ready-made templates and short animated loops.
