January Finds in Web Design

January Finds in Web Design

Our industry is constantly changing and growing.

In order to keep up with what’s happening, it’s my belief you should always be learning; if you stop, you’ll get behind.

A few months ago our team created a #resources channel on Slack where we can share articles, tools, inspiration, etc. with each other. It has been a great way to learn from one another.

This month we’ve stumbled upon some great resources and articles, so take a look at our roundup for January.
