There are a lot of frameworks to work in design that you can use and recently Design Sprint has been making noise in the last year. Let's see why you should use it.

 Let’s see if it is a waste of time or is something that you should give it a try.

 I’m doing challenges from UpLabs, I think there are a nice community and ecosystem for challenges 👍🏻 Another challenge that I recommend is The Design Project. 

 A lot of designers and other roles always fall into the problem of being a perfectionist, that if it isn’t pixel-perfect then it is not ready yet to be live.

This is my Point of View about the importance of release a product/project without being perfect.

Keep in touch: Instagram, Twitter, Medium, Behance, Website.

Learning UI/UX design before has been through classic ways like online courses or something more academic thing.

Even with YouTube videos —  you can learn a lot of things nowadays through YouTube.

But recently a new way have raised inside the design community.

I’m talking about the Instagram design community. Some valuable content that I suggest you follow in Instagram are these:

1.  @design_pilot
2.  @konstantinzhuck
3.  @uxgene
4.  @zanderwhitehurst
5.  @uxbites
6.  @lubosvolkov
7.  @uxgoodies
8.  @fazurrehman
9.  @ux.gems

If you want to be better I suggest you to stay always learning, you can watch videos, listen to podcasts, reading articles, there are a lot of resources out there that can bring you a lot of value.

One of my favorite podcasts is the Product Breakfast Club by Jonathan Courtney and Jake Knapp, also check Design Better Podcast and The Honest Designers Show.

And for YouTube I suggest you check these:

1. AJ&Smart
2. The Futur
3. Flux

If you have time to read, check this blog Inside Design by InVision. One of the best in the industry 👌🏻

These are the resources that I consume on a daily basis to improve my skills, combine this with an online course more structured and you will be in the right direction to being a great designer.
