For the team at Lemonly, design is way more than a day job. Most of us spend much of our free time scanning sites like Dribbble, Behance and Vimeo to keep up with the latest trends in the design and data viz fields, as well as because we just love looking at good design!
Along the way, we come across tons of amazing illustrators and artists. It’d be impossible to closely follow them all, but we all get attached to certain artists’ styles and like to keep tabs on, learn from or draw inspiration from them.
Check out a few of our favorites!
