GoodNotes Design
Introduce us to your team
We're a global team of 7 Product Designers a UX Researcher, and a design manager spread across Hong Kong, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Spain, San Francisco, the Netherlands and the UK.
We help make work and study more efficient and enjoyable ✨
What are your team rituals?
We link up 3x per week on average. Most of us work 🗺 remotely, and the following are great chances to bounce ideas around, catch up on projects, discuss things outside of work and have fun.
💙 Design feedback
A little weekly session with just designers to review work together, figure out ideas, share approaches and have a little show and tell ahead of Design Review.
👀 Design Review
Weekly on Wednesday with everyone in design and leadership to review specific UI and UX directions and final screens. We sign up via Notion ahead of the session.
💃 Designer Aligner
A weekly, hour-long hang out where we typically don’t (usually) talk about work.
Previously, Chelsea taught us an Introduction to Calligraphy inside GoodNotes. Leo guided us to make a Cantonese soup. And in our kitchens, Kim led us in cocktail-making.
We played gartic.io and compared our illustrating abilities, watched Teletubbies and heard one speaking Cantonese, and tried to name every country in the world (all 196) within 15 minutes. We got 157!
🕓 Design Retro
Once per cycle (six weeks), we’ll discuss what to start, stop, and continue. It’s run in FigJam and is a lot of fun.
What design tools do you use day to day?
Figma, UserInterviews, Dovetail, Reduct, Lookback, Typeform, Slack — these we use almost daily. Non-design tools include Notion, Quip, and GoodNotes (of course).
Tell us about your design system
If you've been watching closely, we recently launched Web Viewer. We're expanding beyond Apple. That'll require a new design language and system that supports new environments...
Currently, it's in beta. Intrigued? Join the team.
