We had an article about leading UX Influencers and after receiving a comment from one of our followers asking us about women in the UX design world, we decided to dedicate an article to top female UX Influencers where you will find their notable works, blogs & twitter.
When we were choosing these top female UX influencers, we looked at their blog content, their creative works and useful information on their Twitter account. We tried to create a list of female ux influencers that were active on social media and that you wouldn’t only be inspired by, but that you would also be interested in reading their posts every day, highlighting valuable points for you.
Why Twitter? Twitter is an ideal place for sharing short messages, articles, tips, opinions, pictures and updates, etc. However, while doing a research, I found some interesting websites and decided to put them here as well.
