Overview
Designing for Thinkers
When starting a new project or researching a new idea, one starts taking notes in numerous different places: their journals, on the computer, in their notes on their phone, etc. Before you know it, your notes are scattered that you can’t find a certain link you jotted down in your notes last Thursday.
Targeting curious, innovative thinkers, our journal app is a digital platform for organizing, remembering, and developing one’s ideas. With the ability to save photos, links, words, and research, our journal app enhances the entire process of both learning and thinking by helping you stay organized and engaged.
