As we aim to help the community and provide you with the best possible resources, we’ve put up a list of seven great stories from our colleagues that you probably shouldn’t miss from the past week. We will make this a traditional Monday post where we will point out those stories that we think were inspiring, helpful, and even funny to read. Of course, those stories will be related to what we do here and that includes design, inspiration, resources, and everything else in between. Stories will cover every day in the week which means one for each day. Enjoy.
