What is Dribbble?
Founded in 2009, Dribbble is a global community and portfolio platform tailored for visual creators—UI/UX designers, illustrators, graphic artists—where users upload “shots” (small design previews), engage with peers, gain exposure for their work, and enable employers or clients to discover talent and find creative professionals.
