Discover UI, branding, and illustration ideas from top designers.

Dribbble is eye candy. It's full of beautiful shots, but many designs would never work in a real product. A lot of the popular stuff is fantasy dashboards or over-animated microinteractions. I use it to get color and layout ideas, then sanity-check them against more practical sources like real apps or design systems.

Despite the criticism, I still get inbound leads from Dribbble. Clients search for a style they like and message directly. It’s not where I show full case studies—that’s what my site and Behance are for—but as a top-of-funnel channel for illustration and branding, it still works.

It used to be a curated space for top-tier designers. Now it's flooded with generic, AI-assisted concepts and low-effort UI trends. Engagement seems driven more by follow pods than genuine appreciation. I still have a profile there, but I don’t treat it as a serious portfolio anymore.
