Keeping up with trends in the crazy world of design can sometimes feel like chasing a unicorn.

But guess what?

There’s a way! Just swing by those happening design communities or forums—they’re like cool hangouts where all the latest trends are on display.

Communities are like your squad, there to help you learn, grow, and tackle life’s challenges together. It’s a give-and-take: you share, they share, and together you all become smarter.

Beyond just learning from experience, being in a UI/UX community is like having an extra toolbox of helpful insights.

Joining one is as easy as making a new friend.

Here are the communities that I have joined:

#1: Reddit's UX Design Community

User Experience Design is Reddit’s prime spot for UX enthusiasts.

This bustling community is all about UX vibes, where members talk about everything from careers to the latest UX trends and everything in between.

It’s a bit like a hidden gem, a tad more mysterious than other UX groups, but it’s still an awesome community to dive into all things UX.

#2: Critic Design
