Almanac ↗ is a series-A startup, building a modern document editor with features designed to support asynchronous work and decision-making.
I was the third design hire, and I spent a year and a half helping redesign and refine the UI/UX as we iterated toward finding product market fit.

I worked on initiatives, big and small, to improve how our customers used our document editor.

This redesign ↗ simplified the original nav to prevent decision fatigue, and focus more on document editing. I supported our Lead Designer and led the rebuild of the chrome and redesign of the Insert menu.

I iterated on the inline feed.

An out-of-browser ↗ experience.
