I've lost many nights to random internet rabbit-holes over the past few years, so I started to compile a collection of my favorite tools, resources, or just mindless, enjoyable content that I've found. These have been essential to my creative growth, and I hope they can help you too, whether it be you find your new favorite typeface, you discover that Japanese metalcore is your new musical sweet spot, or you just get some of your burning design questions answered.
