We've got a special guest curated issue of The Index by Mindful Design author Scott Riley. He's got some really good design links for you, described in a manner only Scott could achieve.
Scott Riley tested free and open source design tools out when researching his course, Mindful Design. They actually worked out better than Figma ever could, as he explains in this article with loads of options for you.
To celebrate the launch of Mindful Design, we gathered some questions from the community for Scott to answer to give you some more insight into his background, why he wanted to do this course and how it can help you.
