In honor of Black History Month, we want to lift up some of the incredible talent on Dribbble and elsewhere. We’re thrilled to have Maurice Cherry on the Overtime podcast this week sharing the story behind his project 28 Days of the Web , an initiative that features a different web designer, graphic designer, or web developer every day for the month of February. That episode drops tomorrow, so make sure you’re suscribed .
Additionally, another great project featuring creatives just launched—Blacks Who Design . Their team’s goal is to inspire new designers, encourage people to diversify their feeds, and discover amazing individuals to join your team. They have some great suggestions on how to use this directory .
From illustrators, product designers, letterers, and more, here are some super talented designers to follow on Dribbble.
