Although the article is centered on design for Evernote, it is notable that it is an interview by the company InVision. Some of the quotes in the interview about the platform made me interested in it. From what I found, it is a design prototyping tool geared towards graphic interfaces and online UIs. I would have to look at it more to see how flexible it is, but I could see it or a similar software being very useful for taking a theatrical design through multiple iterations if you were working at a firm that had a large team and was working on a large commercial project. The way it allows you to track and comment on work virtually could save a lot of meeting time.

I also found the designer's statement that the workspace doesn't make the designer it just helps. It's a good reminder that when you're starting out not to let not having a fancy desk or certain equipment get in your way.
