Chema was the winner and started working with us in July. Here are some of his nuggets of design advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a designer and wish to showcase your talent in London, then submit your project to Zealous X, our incredible creative festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My name is Chema. I&#8217;m Spanish, originally from Valencia and I am a UI\/UX designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My main responsibility at Zealous is to look after our websites, Zealous X &amp; Zealous. As Zealous showcases the best creative talents across multiple disciplines, I want to make sure our websites are creative as much as the talents we have on our platform! And of course I want to make your journey on our platform as easy and comfortable as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is difficult to have amazing ideas at all the time, so I try to do some research every day. I do a minimum of one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, on top of this, I look at all the interesting things my team share with me during the day, we have an awesome channel called Procrastination!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I am going to recommend you my top 5 websites where I try to find inspiration for web design, please do share yours with me, as I would love to discover new amazing websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Awwwards<\/strong> In my opinion this is the perfect place to find new amazing websites and to see what people think about them. Thanks to their scoring system you will know user&#8217;s feedback about the design, usability, content and creativity, giving you an idea about what makes the average score of the website to be high or low.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Webdesign inspiration<\/strong> I am not sure how I discovered this site, but It become a handy tool for my research. I check this platform when there are some problems I have to fix quickly. The thing I like the most is that you can filter by industry, type, style or color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Abduzeedo<\/strong> A friend of mine introduced me to Abduzeedo in 2008, since then I have checked the site daily because it has plenty of articles related to creativity, content divided into categories such photography, illustration, design, typography and so much more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Creative Bloq<\/strong> In the past I didn&#8217;t check this site too regularly, but recently, I have realised that some of the most interesting articles I have read about web design trends, inspiration and others, are usually from there. You can find a design inspiration, tips, freebies, features and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Behance<\/strong> I am a member of Behance and I like to spend some time everyday to discover what the creatives I follow are up to, on the site I always find really nice work from different fields.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zealous<\/strong> I came across Zealous through Twitter a year ago and decided to sign up and showcase my portfolio on it. I like the site very much as I was able to discover great work from creatives all over the world, but also I was able to find paid opportunities and that&#8217;s how I got my job! At Zealous they were looking for a designer and I thought that was a great opportunity for me, being a creative for a creative company, what do you want more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you find this list interesting and please share your design tips with me, I looking forward to know which websites you use for your daily dose of inspiration!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we introduce you to our awesome in house UI\/UX designer, Chema Martinez.
