ISSUE 03

Staying inspired is key to creating your best work.

 

Whether that’s by learning from other designers, staying connected to your passions, or taking a well-deserved break, we know that fueling your imagination is crucial to great design.

 

That’s why this month we curated a newsletter to help you stay in touch with one of your most valuable design tools: your creativity. Inside, you’ll find exclusive interviews with women who have blazed a trail in the industry, giving you insights into design — as a daily practice and as a career. You’ll find a practical guide to overcoming blank page paralysis, resources to help level up your next project, and more.

 

Also in this issue, dive into Discover, a curated selection of articles, resources and inspiration — along with the latest Sketch updates — right inside your Workspace.

 

Enjoy the issue!
