I like reading useful articles about the current UX and design trends, as well as to research other talented UX/UI designers for potential collaboration or just for some inspiration. 2015 was a massive step for UX Design and I believe that the job of the web designer has never changed and evolved so much in such a short period of time, as it did this year.
I’ve shortlisted some of the best UX quotes I came across recently. Enjoy!

Your design should always be telling a story. And that story needs to be told from the user’s perspective—not the business’s perspective.

And that’s something timeless that I always try to follow with all my project by the brilliant German industrial designer Dieter Rams.
