Design resources that we’ve been loving ❤️.

As you may have seen, we’ve recently hired two new interns to join our team. Say hello 👋🏼 to Vlad, our Intern Web Developer, and Agata our Intern UX/UI Designer.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve been working closely with Agata on some client projects that she’s been getting her teeth stuck in to. It’s been great to work with someone so passionate and keen to grow and improve their design skills. Naturally, throughout this time Agata has had some questions about a variety of topics e.g. typography and grids. So we’ve put together a list of resources and thought that it would be great to share this with other students and industry peers.
