Our Card Editor had an outdated look and feel and disjointed tools inside the building experience. Users had a hard time finding tools in our card editor this lead to frustration using our software. We made paper mock-ups and had users move tools around that showed how they would envision our tool. My research included inspecting various WYSIWYGs and Editors. The range included products email blast editors like mailchimp and Campaign Monitor to direct competitors such as Trello, Mailchimp and Wix.
We proposed redesigning the card editor to group editing tools and features for more efficient work flow as well as providing more of the card layout above the browser fold. The end goals for this project was a more considerate user experience, an easy to navigate interface, a flexible interface to allow future features and implementing consistent styles that matched our new style guide.

My main goal for the redesign was to keep the card always in full display to create a connection between templates and properties of the card. I decided to have all the tools on a tabbed side panel on the right side of the page. By collecting and nesting features I created a more intuitive user experience while elevating the design of the layout. Above are the final screens delivered to the development team for production.
