About


I (designer Manda Szewczyk) write original design-related posts at Creative Opera.


I tweet tons of useful design-related links daily on Twitter.

Design Finds is an extension of my Creative Opera Design Blog. Design Finds is a place for me to share all of the amazing things I find on the web each day. It won't be everything — just those things that I find useful enough to bookmark for myself. The links on Design Finds have all been carefully handpicked, and will hopefully be a wonderful resource for my Creative Opera readers.

Things You'll Find Here
  • ★ Design-related Articles
  • ★ Design News
  • ★ Design Tutorials
  • ★ Inspirational Graphics
  • ★ Introductions to Design Tweeters
  • ★ Anything else I find and want to share!

Enjoy!
