UI/UX resources
I actually recommend.

Practical product and web design tutorials with strong taste. Great for understanding why a layout works, not just how to copy it.

Senior product designer at Uber sharing career advice, portfolio reviews and day-in-the-life realism for designers.

Tool reviews, design news and walkthroughs from someone who actually works in product. Best for staying current.

Brutally honest UX career advice — getting hired, freelancing, leveling up. Worth binging the older videos too.

Design education and freelance business advice. Practical breakdowns of how working designers structure their day.

Design Sprints, workshops and product strategy. The reference for facilitation if you ever run sessions with stakeholders.

UI design fundamentals and modern frontend. Particularly good for designers who want to understand how things actually get built.

Senior product designer breaking down real case studies and interview prep — exceptional content for mid-to-senior designers.

Affordances, signifiers, feedback. The foundation for thinking about usability — still the most-quoted book in the field for a reason.

The book every junior designer should read first. Short, practical, focused on web usability that still holds up.

The book that quietly changed how a generation of designers thinks about hierarchy, colour and spacing. A must-own.

How habit-forming products work. Useful for SaaS and consumer designers — and worth re-reading with an ethical lens.

The single best book on communicating design to non-designers. Required reading if you work with PMs or founders.

The mental model behind modern component libraries and design systems. Read once, reference forever.

Where 95% of the work happens. Variables, auto layout and component properties are the bits worth mastering.

User flows, sticky-note research, sitemaps and stakeholder workshops without leaving Figma.

Spec docs, research repository, project tracker. Boring but indispensable.

Walk through a Figma file in five minutes instead of scheduling a meeting. Doubles the speed of any remote team.

Unmoderated tests on a prototype with real users. Fastest way to validate a flow before shipping.

The cleanest issue tracker. Designers benefit as much as engineers from its hierarchy and keyboard shortcuts.

Spotlight on steroids. Window management, snippets, AI prompts and Figma file search in one shortcut.

Tab-heavy workflows tamed. Profiles for client work, spaces for research, command-bar for everything.

Searchable library of real shipped flows from real apps. The best way to study patterns instead of inventing them from scratch.

Curated SaaS landing pages — useful when you need to benchmark hero sections, pricing or feature layouts.

Full recorded flows from popular products. Great for understanding onboarding, payment and offboarding patterns in context.

Hand-picked websites with strong art direction. Useful for breaking out of SaaS aesthetic ruts.

Bigger gallery with filters by industry and style. Browse before designing a new marketing site.

Critical reviews of brand identity redesigns. Sharpens the eye for typography, logo and system thinking.

Long-form conversations with design leaders. Strategic, less tool-focused.

Product, not strictly design — but the deepest interviews on how successful products actually get built.

Realistic freelance and creative-business conversations from working designers.

Modern, opinionated takes on product, tools and the design industry.

City and topic-based chapters. The closest thing the design world has to a global meetup network.

Long-running senior-designer Slack. Quietly one of the highest-signal communities online.

Free 1:1 mentorship sessions with senior designers worldwide. Equally useful as a mentor or mentee.

Mixed signal but worth lurking. Filter for the longer write-ups and the AMAs.

First-draft copy, rubber-ducking, summarising research, naming things. The single highest-leverage tool of the last two years.

Generate React + Tailwind UI from a prompt. Useful for ideating layout directions faster than Figma.

Build full apps from a prompt. Great for shipping interactive prototypes that go beyond Figma.

AI for UI components and full screens, with Figma + React export. Speeds up exploration.

Text-to-UI mockups. Useful for quick ideation before refining in Figma.
