We’ve rustled up a list of our favourite places to go for insider knowledge and design tips that we know will be helpful to both designers and businesses.

We love discovering and learning new things. And, a lot of the inspiration we get is from online resources and podcasts created by incredible individuals from around the world.

Flux.

Created by designer Ran Segall, Flux is a brilliant YouTube channel that documents the entrepreneur’s life and career.

Ran offers helpful design tips and inspiration, as well as giving an insight into the world of business. What we love about Ran is that his valuable advice can be applied to all sorts of industries, not just design.

We recommend his videos on how to begin freelancing and his playlist on building a portfolio.
