This is a curation of web links and resources I use in order to facilitate my process of designing and developing. the process is cyclical: Inspiration, Creation, Materialization and Contribution. First, I look for images, blogs, articles that inspire me. Second, I create using modern tools and services. For my business to materialize, I need services that help collecting payment, stay organized and generate contracts. Finally, I look to give back and open up the possibility to inspire others by contributing my work now that it has materialized.
