I had a good conversation with Joel. He brings with him a wealth of experience as a designer and was able to walk me through how I navigate the challenge of meeting client and project demands while still maintaining the integrity of the good design process. He was a great mentor to work with. Very honest and encouraging.

What is the best way to keep up with UX/UI trends? Books, podcasts, medium, something else?
Following a few key leaders on LinkedIn is an excellent start. There are many great voices there, but I am constantly inspired by Daren Hood (who's also got a great podcast), Tom Greever, Rachel Kobetz, and Leslie Witt.
