Evernote Editor & Capture Experiences

Helping users remember and capture everything

Evernote is a note taking and productively app that allows users to capture and remember almost anything, regardless of the format that it is in. A note is not limited to just text. Whether it’s a table, a file attachment, an image, a clipping of a website, an audio recording, or even a quick sketch there are few limits to what can be included to fully capture someone’s ideas and information.

As the lead designer of the Capture team, my role involved overseeing the end to end note creation, editing, and web clipping experience across the mobile, desktop, and web platforms. This included all experiences related to viewing, editing, and formatting the contents of a note as well as the insertion and management of different content types.

My projects spanned everything from year long projects such as rebuilding the Evernote note experience for our rewritten clients released in 2020 to new feature introductions and minor bug fixes.

Contextual tabbed toolbar introduced to support table editing and content management inside a table

Redesigning the Mobile Formatting Bar

Case Study Coming Soon!

How do you redesign the formatting bar to increase feature discovery and usage when there is so little screen real estate? In this project we weighed the pros and cons of more vs less top level formatting options.
