Resources
Things worth
bookmarking.
Tools I actually use, courses worth the money, and freebies on the way.
Mobbin
A design reference library of 300k+ real app screenshots. When you need inspiration without the endless scrolling.
Granola
AI meeting notetaker that listens in and turns your calls into clean, organized notes. I use this every single day.
Wispr Flow
Dictate messages, emails, and Slack replies out loud. Way faster than typing, and it works everywhere.
Huntr
Track every job application in one place — company, status, notes, follow-ups. A must if you're in job search mode.
Figma
The design tool. If you're in UX, you're already here — but if you're not, start now.
Loom
Screen recording for async communication. I use this constantly for developer handoffs and quick walkthroughs.
Perplexity
AI-powered search that actually does the research. When I need to understand something fast — not just find a link — this is where I start.
Slack
You already know Slack. Worth mentioning because the communities are underrated — design spaces, ADPList, all of it.
Claude
Where I build prototypes and automate workflows to speed up my process. Less chatbot, more thinking partner that can also write code.
