I am a writer, web developer, application developer, graphic designer and also a Blender3D artist.
Internships, full-time, part-time and contact projects.
Things I generally follow are, Connecting with people in the UI/UX field on LinkedIn and Dribble, and stay updated through discussions or just by watching their posts and learning about the trend. Also, I'm a part of a few discord groups, where people discuss their ideas and different approaches. DesignBuddies is one good community you can check out.
