UX Resources

You can still access hundreds of UX resources at The UX Bookmark, which, while now sunsetted, remains fully functional. I will, however, continue sharing UX resources here.

Enjoy and remember, this is for the UX student and professional community, so if you have a resource that you think everyone will benefit from, feel free to contact me and share it.

Also, feel free to repost these links on your website, LinkedIn, Instagram, X, or anywhere else. A shoutout is always appreciated but not required—what matters is that these resources reach and help more people.
