How to Grow as a Creative Freelancer: Real Strategies That Work

Freelancing in creative fields can feel like a rollercoaster. One month you are flooded with projects, the next you are wondering what is coming. The truth is that talent alone is not enough to build a sustainable career. You need strategy, positioning, and the right tools to show your value.

Here are strategies that actually work, drawn from the realities of working as a designer, illustrator, or creative professional.


1. Your identity matters more than your portfolio

A strong portfolio is essential, but it is not enough on its own. Clients are looking for someone they can trust, someone who brings more than nice visuals. They want to understand who you are, how you think, and why you make the choices you do.

Instead of just showing the final deliverables, show your process. Talk about the challenges you solved, share the sketches that led to the finished piece, or explain how you made certain design decisions. This makes your work memorable and positions you as a creative partner rather than just a vendor.

2. Surround yourself with other creatives

Growth does not happen in isolation. Some of the best opportunities come from collaborations and connections.

Join design communities both online and offline. Comment on other people’s work, exchange feedback, and learn from peers. Partner with professionals in related fields like copywriting, motion design, or UX. A joint project can unlock doors that you could not reach alone.

Even creative challenges and open calls can be powerful. They sharpen your skills, expose you to new audiences, and keep you active in the field.

3. Be flexible with what you offer

Many freelancers stick to one type of service, but markets evolve and so should you.

Think in terms of packages: a logo plus a brand kit, or a website design plus social media templates. Offering bundled services makes you more valuable to clients and harder to replace.

Stay aware of the market and keep your pricing dynamic. Do not sell hours, sell outcomes. If your work helps shape how a company is perceived, it is worth more than the time you spent creating it.

4. Protect your creativity

The hardest part of freelancing is not just finding work, it is keeping your creativity alive while doing it.

Block your time strategically. Reserve hours for deep creative work, for admin, and for communication. Without boundaries, emails and client calls can eat up all your energy.

Work on personal projects. These small experiments often become the pieces that attract new clients and remind you why you chose this path in the first place.

And remember that saying no is part of the job. Not every project is right for you, and turning down the wrong one gives you the freedom to accept the right one.

5. Keep learning and adapt quickly

Design is constantly changing. Tools, aesthetics, and expectations shift faster than most industries. Staying relevant means staying curious.

Try new tools, test new workflows, and watch what the best in the field are experimenting with. Do not just follow trends, understand why they work and how they might evolve.

The more adaptable you are, the stronger your position as a freelancer.

6. Show the full picture with Muzli Me

At the end of the day, growth as a creative is not just about improving your craft. It is about how you present yourself to the world. Clients and collaborators want to see more than a polished shot, they want to see the complete story of your creativity.

That is exactly where Muzli Me comes in. It gives you one place to bring everything together: finished designs, live websites, experiments, case studies, tools, and even the small personal projects that often say the most about who you are.

Instead of spreading your identity across multiple platforms, you can create a single home that shows the bigger picture. And because Muzli Me is connected to a large creative community, your work is not just displayed, it is discovered by people who matter, whether they are recruiters, brands, or fellow creatives.

If you are serious about building a creative career that lasts, do not settle for showing just half the picture. Use Muzli Me to show the whole thing.

Introducing Muzli Me 

Where Your Creative Identity Starts

Some ideas refuse to die- they simmer in the background, waiting for their moment.

Seven years ago, we started building something we knew the creative world needed: a place where your full creative identity could finally live and breathe, not scattered across a dozen platforms like fragments of who you really are.
Back then, we got close. Muzli Me was designed, built, and almost launched, but life had other plans and it never saw the light of day.

Still, the reason we started building it? That never went away.

Even as the design world changed, as new platforms came and went, we kept feeling the same itch- creatives deserved better than silos.

Today, that stubborn idea finally gets its day in the sun, and marks the first step into a future where your creative identity isn’t scattered, it’s connected, complete, and authentically you.

The Reality

Your Dribbble shows your polished shots, but not the messy sketches that got you there. 
Your Medium has your thoughts on design, but none of your actual work.
Your Instagram captures your creative process, but hiring managers will never find it. 
Your LinkedIn looks professional, but feels nothing like the real you.

Your creative identity isn’t a single place- it’s everywhere.
Your finished work and your rough ideas. Your professional projects and your 2am experiments. The tools you swear by and the articles that changed how you think, and maybe even the latest side-project you’ve been working on.

And so far, no one was telling it.

The Vision

Enter Muzli Me, a creative home base, but it’s not here to kill your other platforms.

Muzli Me gives you a place to showcase everything that makes you creative — not just one content type. Not just a single angle.
It’s your entire creative DNA, finally visible, finally connected, finally you.

It’s not a competitor to your other platforms. It’s a spotlight for them.
We don’t want to replace your Dribbble, Behance, YouTube, Medium, Instagram or Linkedin — we want to amplify them. 
Muzli Me connects the dots between everything you create and everything you are.

And for hiring teams? This means seeing the whole person, not just a polished slice of their work. It’s the best way to find people who truly match your design culture.

This is just day one.
Muzli Me will grow and evolve with you, with us, with the community we’re building together. But today? Today we’re planting a flag for something the creative world has been missing- a place where you don’t have to choose which part of yourself to show.

Why Muzli Me?

A new kind of profile built for creative humans, not just portfolios.

All types of creative content, in one place

Share website links, shots, tools & resources, videos, articles, social content – everything that reflects who you are.

Share your work in seconds

Upload media directly from your computer- or simply paste a link from any popular creative platform, and we’ll take care of the rest.
It’s fast, seamless, and built to fit your existing workflow.

Get discovered by the Muzli community

Your work becomes part of our curated feed, visible to hundreds of thousands designers, employers and creatives.

Find inspiration. Inspire others.

Muzli Me is not just a profile — it’s part of a living, breathing ecosystem of design inspiration.

Why Most UI/UX Designers Fail Before They Even Open Figma

Rehan Pinjari
Self-Taught UI/UX Designer & Developer


Hello there, designers! 👋 Asking the right questions before starting a new project has been a game-changer for me.

I know it’s easy to skip the chit-chat and go right into Figma, but trust me: with over 6 years of UI/UX experience, I’ve found that the right questions are the building blocks of every successful design project.

They’re like the GPS that stops you from driving off a cliff or at least into an area of endless revisions.

So take a coffee and let’s talk about why this is important, what questions to ask, and how to ask them like a pro.

I’ll even cover some stories and pro suggestions that you can use. Ready? Let’s go!

Why Most Design Projects Fail (And How to Avoid It)

Illustration of a stressed UI/UX designer, Rehan Pinjari, with 6+ years of experience, sitting at a laptop with a hand on their head, surrounded by declining charts, a rocket, and question marks, representing design project failures from the blog post ‘Asking the right questions before starting a new project.’

Over two-thirds of projects fail because no one tries to get everyone on the same page from the very start. What about the fallout? Wasted time, money delays, and confusion lead to a cooked mess.

I’ve had the experience of designing a feature only to discover that it couldn’t be built because of an unknown old system. Oof.

Here’s where questions come in handy. Asking the correct questions at the start helps to avoid unfortunate events by setting targets, sharing limits, and keeping everyone on the same page.

Do you want an idea of what I’m saying? Take an infographic titled “The Cost of Skipping Questions”: one side shows a smooth project schedule with smiling people (time and money saved), while the other shows an irregular pattern of delays and dollar signs flying out the window (chaos and rework).

Spoiler: you want the first one.

Here’s my tried-and-true checklist of pre-project questions for designers.

I’ve divided them into six main groups (plus a few more!), with detailed examples and an explanation of “why it matters” from my personal experience. Let’s go in.

1. Project Goals & Business Impact

  • What is the main business goal? (e.g., boost conversions and decrease abandonment)
  • What is the one statistic that defines success in this project?
  • Who are the important stakeholders, and what do they expect?

Why This Matters: I previously thought that the client cared more about aesthetics than their value, but talking about goals early saved me from a complete revision.

Pro tip: Ask stakeholders what are their top goals. Unresolved problems here could put at risk the project later.

2. User Research & Target Audience

  • Who is the main user group? (Age, location, behavior, and pain points.)
  • Have we done any user research or surveys?
  • What are some common feedback from consumers in this industry?

No personas? If you can do a quick user interview that would be helpful.

Pro Tip: For a recent SaaS project, asking for user personas upfront led to an onboarding flow that users loved.

3. Competitive & Market Analysis

  • Who are the top competitors, and what works well in their UX?
  • What makes this product/service stand out?
  • What 3 things do users hate about competitors’ products?
  • Should we follow industry trends or break them?

I’ve seen projects fail because no one asked about competitors, don’t sleep on this.

Explain your response! This can help set your project apart.

4. Project Scope & Deliverables

  • What specific screens, pages, or features are needed?
  • Which platforms will this design run on? (Mobile, Web, Tablet, SaaS)
  • Are there any tech stack limits or frameworks to consider?
  • What is the needed level of interaction and animation?

These questions once helped to clarify a confusing feedback loop during a tight deadline contract.

5. Content & Branding Guidelines

  • Do we have a brand style guide? (Colors, typography, imagery)
  • What type of content will be included? (Text, images, videos)
  • Is there a tone of voice to align with?
  • Who’s handling copywriting and image selection?

I continually confirm content timelines — once, a “rush job” delayed because no copy was available.

6. Development & Technical Constraints

  • What tech stack is the dev team using?
  • Are there CMS, backend, or third-party integration limits?
  • What’s the performance/load time standard?

Invite a dev to your all meetings at least once a week. I once designed a feature that couldn’t be built. 🤦

Bonus 7. Post-Launch & Iteration Strategy

  • How will success be measured post-launch? (Metrics, A/B testing, Heatmaps)
  • Is there a plan to collect user feedback?
  • Will there be continued design support?

Pro Tip: Asking this shows you’re thinking long-term, it wows clients every time.

How to Ask Questions Like a Pro

Cartoon-style image of a laptop screen showing a virtual meeting with four people, question marks above them, on a purple-to-orange gradient background, illustrating collaboration challenges for Rehan Pinjari’s UI/UX design blog about pre-project questions.

It’s not only important to ask, but also how. You don’t want to sound like someone who is questioning someone suspicious, right? Here’s how to get meaningful responses without feeling awkward:

  • Collaborative Speaking: “What’s success?” vs “How can we define success together?” It is less combative and more team-oriented.
  • Timing Tips: Set goals at the very start and save limits for planning sessions.
  • Go more deeply: If they reply, “Make it user-friendly,” ask, “What does that mean for you? Do you have an example?

Building trust is the goal, not just giving answers. Do this, and you’ll be the designer everyone wants to work with.

Personal Trick: I usually ask for examples of designs they enjoy (or dislike). It’s related to a cheat code for aligning expectations.

Pro Mistakes to Avoid (Lessons from My Experience)

Illustration of a worried UI/UX designer, Rehan Pinjari, working at a desktop computer with an exclamation mark above their head, set on a green background with a plant, symbolizing design project stress from the blog post on avoiding failures.

I messed up so you didn’t have to. Here are two important ones:

Mistake #1: Assuming Stakeholders Agree on Goals

Arrange a “Goal Prioritization” voting session during the start. When the top three goals are not aligned, it serves as a warning sign.

Mistake 2: Skipping Technical Chats with Developers.

Involve a developer in discovery meetings. I once planned a feature that could not be built because of CMS limitations, resulting in a whole redesign. Yikes.

How to Scale This Process (For Agencies & Teams)

Have a team or agency? Here’s how you make this work:

  • Document everything: Set up a “Project Kickoff Hub” in Notion or Confluence to collect all answers. It’s a lifesaver for onboarding and mid-project updates.
  • Mentor juniors: Teach them to ask “Why?” five times to get to the bottom of the problem. It improves critical thinking fast.
  • Template it: Here’s an email-friendly stakeholder interview starter:
     Subject: Let’s Crush This Project- Quick Questions to Start Body: “Hi, [Name], I’m excited to get started! Could you please share your opinions on [insert 2–3 critical questions] to ensure that we are on the same page?

After 6+ years of improvement, this strategy is quite successful.

Final Words

Asking the correct questions not only avoids disasters but also helps you to do well. This approach will help you create better designs, stay on schedule with projects, and wow customers (and colleagues).

Try these on the next task and feel the difference.

Designing for 2025 isn’t just about hopping on the latest trends — it’s about creating experiences that truly matters the most. As the digital world is changing faster than ever, UI design is shifting to meet new challenges and opportunities.

What’s your take — will simplicity, bold visuals, immersive experiences or designs that truly connect with users define the best designs of this year?

So, without further ado, let’s dive into the top UI design trends for this year!

1. Big Typography

Big Typography uses oversized, bold text as the main visual element.

Large, bold fonts dominate the composition, turning text into a key visual element. It grabs attention, enhances readability, and adds personality to the design, often paired with clean, minimal layouts.

So, let’s get creative, stay curious, and always remember the best designs don’t just follow trends — they set them!

AI and accessibility: The tools shaping a more inclusive world

Canvs Editorial
Meaningful stories and insightful analyses on design


Did you know that over 1 billion people worldwide live with some form of disability? Yet, accessibility often gets overlooked in design.

That’s starting to change. The core of this understanding is that addressing the “lowest” common denominator by virtue addresses the total pool.

Thanks to AI, we’re moving from just meeting basic accessibility standards to actually creating better, more inclusive experiences.

With tools like voice assistants and real-time captions, AI is helping people interact with the world in ways that feel more natural and intuitive.

Let’s take a closer look at some products that are leading the way.

1. Voice interaction: From convenience to necessity

Voice assistants like Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri have shifted from being just convenient tools to essential ones, especially for people with physical disabilities. They offer a way to interact with devices without the need for touchscreens or keyboards, which can be limiting.

For instance, someone with limited mobility, with voice commands, can control their environment — adjust the thermostat, turn off lights, or set reminders — without needing to move.

It isn’t just convenience, it’s independence.

For designers, this shift means rethinking navigation. Interfaces built around voice interaction need to be simple and intuitive, without relying on visual or tactile elements. Traditional buttons and menus become secondary as spoken commands take the lead.

Voice-first interaction demands an experience where users can access information or complete tasks without ever needing to look at or touch a screen.

In this context, design becomes about listening rather than seeing.

Voice-controlled apps in niche spaces

Voiceitt app helping a child

Voice-controlled apps are making a real impact in areas where traditional tech falls short.

For example, in healthcare, voice-activated medical devices allow patients with limited mobility to interact with their environment. It can be be either to adjust their hospital bed or calling for help — useful for those who can’t use their hands.

In education, voice technology gives children with physical disabilities a hands-free way to engage with lessons, leveling the playing field.

Another good example of such product is Voiceitt. This **app is designed for people with speech impairments, using AI to recognize and adapt to non-standard speech patterns.

It helps users who may struggle with mainstream voice assistants, communicate better.

2. Real-time captioning: Making sound visible

Google Live Transcribe transcribing speech onto notes for the user
Google Live Transcribe (Source)

Real-time captioning has become an essential tool for people with hearing impairments.

AI-driven tools like Google Live Transcribe now transcribe conversations, meetings, and even background sounds instantly, in real-time. This opens up access to everyday interactions that were once difficult or impossible for those with hearing loss.

Picture someone attending a business meeting or participating in a social gathering. Real-time captioning enables them to follow conversations, no matter the noise level or complexity of the discussion.

It’s especially useful in environments like classrooms or live conferences, where important information is conveyed verbally and needs to be understood on the spot.

Multi-language and contextual captioning

Google translate
Google Translate (Source)

AI is making real-time captioning more practical by adding multi-language support, so people in international events or workplaces can follow along, no matter the language.

Tools like Google Translate or Microsoft Translator can instantly convert speech into captions in different languages.

For example, at a conference, captions can be translated live, allowing non-native speakers to fully participate.

Some tools also go a step further, picking up on tone and emotion, so captions aren’t just about words — they give a fuller picture of what’s being said.

3. Object and scene recognition: More than just descriptions

Seeing AI describing the picture to the user
Seeing AI (Source)

AI tools like Seeing AI and Google Lookout are giving people with visual impairments a better sense of their surroundings, not just by identifying objects but by helping them understand entire scenes.

Someone using Seeing AI to walk down a busy street gets more than just a list of objects. The app might describe people nearby, alert them to cars at a crosswalk, or even note store signs along the way.

Google Lookout describing the pictures
Google Lookout (Source)

In a store, Google Lookout can read product labels aloud, helping users find what they need without asking for help. It’s about more than identifying things; it’s about helping people make sense of the world around them.

AI-powered tools for visual storytelling

Be My Eyes app describing the scene to the user
Be My Eyes (Source)

Be My Eyes, originally, connected visually impaired users with sighted volunteers to help with tasks.

Now, with AI stepping in, it’s doing more than just identifying objects. It’s helping narrate experiences in ways that add meaning.

For instance, it can describe not only what’s in front of a person but also capture subtler details — like recognizing someone’s facial expression or sensing the mood in a room.

Imagine someone using an AI tool that detects that the person in front of them is smiling, or that the room feels warm and inviting based on the lighting and sounds.

4. AI’s role in user-centered design

Samsung’s Good Vibes app
Good Vibes (Source)

Samsung’s Good Vibes app, is designed for deaf-blind users to communicate through vibrations, offering a lifeline where traditional communication falls short.

The app uses Morse code — simple taps and vibrations — to send and receive messages.

A sighted person types a message that gets translated into vibrations, and the deaf-blind user responds using touch patterns.

More accessibility, one interaction at a time

From voice control to real-time captions and everything in between, these tools are helping people interact with their surroundings in ways that feel more natural.

For designers, it’s a chance to rethink how we build, not just for screens, but for real-world spaces. The goal is simple: create environments that adapt to everyone, not just a few.

10 web design trends 2025

As we step into 2025, web design trends are taking bold strides, blending innovation with functionality to create engaging digital experiences. Here is a closer look at the standout trends shaping the future of web design this year.

Trend one: Unusual layouts

A collage-style webpage featuring text snippets, quotes, images, and a black logo that reads “POSSIBLE.” Various overlapping cards show technology, human creativity, and graphical elements.
Screenshot from the website https://apossible.com/

In 2025, designers are moving away from conventional vertical scrolling layouts and adopting unusual layouts that offer more engaging and creative browsing experiences. These layouts break away from traditional design structures by incorporating features like horizontal scrolling, direct-to-explore elements, and fluid content arrangements. The goal is to create dynamic, memorable interactions with users by using unexpected approaches that deviate from the typical linear flow.

Screenshot from the website https://taqueriarico.com/

While these layouts encourage creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, they still prioritize user experience. Designers ensure navigation remains intuitive and accessible, using cues like arrows, drag handles, or animations to guide users through these unconventional designs.

Trend two: Custom illustrations

The word “MEW” with illustrated scenes inside the letters. A cartoon cat in a suit holding a weapon, alongside stylized dog, with a nighttime city background.
Screenshot from the website https://mew.xyz/

Custom illustrations are taking the lead in web design. Instead of relying on stock images or generic visuals, designers are creating unique, brand-specific illustrations that help communicate messages more effectively. These illustrations are tailored to fit the brand’s identity and style, allowing for greater creative freedom and clearer storytelling.

The phrase “Let me show you where we can go” in large yellow letters on a purple background. In the center, a cartoon cloud character with eyes and legs.

Whether it’s flat design, line art, or brushstroke styles, the key is flexibility. Designers craft visuals that resonate with their target audience, creating more engaging and memorable experiences. By using custom illustrations, websites feel more authentic and personalized, helping brands stand out in a crowded digital space.

Trend three: Cursor-centric interactivity

The word “AIRBORNE” in bold letters on a black background. Below it, colorful objects like a cap, ring, and pillow. Text reads: “Lead the change, don’t let the change lead you.”
Screenshot from the website https://www.airborne.studio/

Cursor-centric interactivity focuses on using the cursor as a tool to enhance the user experience. Designers utilize the cursor’s movement to trigger animations, reveal hidden content, or change the appearance of elements when hovered over. This kind of interaction makes websites feel more dynamic and engaging.

Colorful photographs of people in vibrant, urban settings are scattered across the screen. Bold yellow and black text in the center reads, “A Little About LA BOCA.”
Screenshot from the website https://gelatolaboca.com/

Whether it’s highlighting a button when hovered over, expanding a menu, or revealing extra content under the cursor, these subtle interactions add depth and playfulness to the browsing experience. It’s all about creating a more intuitive and enjoyable way for users to engage with the content, making the browsing process feel seamless and interactive.

Trend four: Grid and modular design

Screenshot from the website https://labs.chaingpt.org/

Grid and modular design is all about organizing content into clear, structured layouts, making websites easy to navigate and visually cohesive. Designers use grids to create modular sections that align elements like images, text, and buttons into consistent columns and rows. This trend is versatile, adapting to various types of content while maintaining balance and order.

Screenshot from the website https://wodniack.dev/

What makes this design approach especially popular is its flexibility. It can be used for a variety of purposes — from e-commerce websites to portfolios — creating uniformity without sacrificing creativity. The grid system also allows for scalability, making it easier to adjust layouts for different screen sizes and devices.

In 2025, this approach continues to be a key design trend, offering a clean, organized look while helping users easily focus on what matters most.

Trend five: Dynamic 3D experiences

Screenshot from the website https://www.odyssey.shaga.xyz/

Dynamic 3D experiences are becoming a powerful way for companies to showcase their products in highly interactive and detailed manners. Designers are increasingly using high-quality 3D renders to present products in all their dimensions, allowing users to interact with them like never before. With scrolling, users can view different angles, zoom in on intricate details, or even watch the products move and rotate in real time.

Screenshot from the website https://www.apple.com/iphone-16-pro/

This immersive experience can be further enhanced with mouse-hover effects, providing additional details or actions such as changing colors or revealing features. Big brands like Apple have set the standard by incorporating 3D product showcases on their websites. These interactive models allow customers to feel closer to the product, helping them visualize it in the real world and engage more deeply with the brand.

As 3D technology becomes more accessible, expect to see this trend continue to rise in 2025, enhancing the way we interact with products online.

Trend six: Playful and interactive websites

Screenshot from the website https://conceptcapers.com/?ref=onepagelove

In 2025, websites are becoming more engaging through playful and interactive experiences. Designers are integrating elements that invite users to participate, making the browsing process more enjoyable and immersive. These websites encourage creativity, allowing users to interact with content in unexpected ways — whether through games, interactive storytelling, or personalized features.

This trend moves beyond novelty, aiming to create memorable experiences that keep users engaged while showcasing the personality of the brand. Thoughtful interactivity enhances both user experience and site functionality, turning passive browsing into an active, fun adventure.

Number seven: Dark mode

Screenshot from the website https://www.shareio.app/

Dark mode continues to be a prominent design trend in 2025, offering users a more comfortable browsing experience, especially in low-light environments. This mode reduces eye strain by using darker backgrounds and lighter text, creating a less intense visual contrast.

Screenshot from the website https://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/

As a result, many websites and apps now feature dark mode as an option, allowing users to choose the interface that suits their preferences and enhances their comfort. Beyond practicality, dark mode also contributes to a modern, sleek aesthetic, making it a preferred choice for many designers aiming to create a contemporary look. Its popularity is driven by both functionality and visual appeal.

Number eight: Scroll-to-engage storytelling

Screenshot from the website https://promo.emotion-agency.com/

Scroll-to-engage storytelling is a popular design trend where brands use scrolling as a storytelling tool to effectively deliver their message. Rather than simply displaying content, designers are creating websites that unfold a narrative as users scroll, making the information more engaging and easier to understand.

Screenshot from the website https://concept.peachworlds.com/

This method incorporates dynamic content, animations, and interactive elements to guide users through the story, ensuring that the message resonates more clearly. It creates a more memorable experience and helps users connect with the content in a way that traditional layouts may not achieve.

Number nine: Radiant glow design

Screenshot from the website https://fancy.design/works/argus-vpn.html

Radiant glow design combines gradients with light effects to create an engaging and visually dynamic website experience. This trend often features glowing or luminous elements embedded within soft gradient backgrounds, giving the design a vibrant and energetic feel.

Screenshot from the website https://pinatap.beaucoup.studio/

By blending neon hues with subtle light effects such as glows and highlights, designers can draw attention to interactive elements like buttons, icons, and call-to-action sections. These styles add a futuristic touch, enhancing the depth of the layout and guiding user focus to key features. Radiant glow design works particularly well when paired with dark mode or minimalistic backgrounds, offering contrast and a sense of visual intrigue.

Trend ten: AI visuals and content

In 2025, AI is revolutionizing web design by providing new ways to generate and personalize visuals and content. Designers are using AI tools to create unique, brand-specific graphics — from illustrations to 3D renderings — while optimizing images in real time to fit different contexts.

A collage showcasing various artistic styles, including photorealism of a woman crafting pottery, colorful vector art of a face, a hard flash photograph of a woman with a pink plate, a digital illustration of a blue-haired woman with a vase, and a vibrant plastic sculpture of a decorated bust with floral elements, all captioned to highlight different visual styles. All these images were generated by AI.
Screenshot from the website https://www.recraft.ai/

AI can also personalize website content based on user behavior, ensuring a more tailored experience. This not only enhances visual appeal but also streamlines workflows, allowing for greater creative freedom and efficiency. As AI continues to evolve, it will play an even greater role in crafting dynamic, interactive user experiences that feel personalized and engaging.

Opinion on These Trends

While it’s amazing to see web design pushing boundaries with high-end animations, 3D visuals, and interactive elements, there is a downside to all this creativity. These features definitely make websites stand out and deliver messages in exciting new ways, but the truth is, they can also slow down load times and negatively affect the overall user experience.

Today, more and more companies are realizing the importance of having a fast, responsive website that loads quickly. Speed is becoming just as important as visual appeal, and there is a clear shift toward finding a balance between stunning design and performance. It’s about creating websites that are both engaging and efficient, ensuring users don’t have to wait around to enjoy the experience.


That’s all for now! I hope you enjoyed exploring these design trends for 2025.

Top UI Design Trends to Know in 2025

Prateek Patil.
UI/UX Designer | Trying to Solve The Problems


The UI/UX world is a fast-moving carousel of ideas and innovations. As we approach 2025, designers are leaning into creativity and user-first experiences like never before. Let’s dive into the top trends you need to watch (and embrace) this year!

1. Micro-Interactions Get Smarter

Forget basic hovers and clicks. 2025’s micro-interactions are intelligent and predictive — anticipating user needs before they even act. Think buttons that gently nudge users or interfaces that subtly adapt based on behavior.

Aaron Iker

2. AI-Powered Personalization

AI is taking personalization up a notch. Your interface isn’t just for the user anymore; it’s about the user. Expect designs that tweak colors, content, and layouts dynamically based on user preferences and patterns.

3. Sustainability-Driven Design

With eco-consciousness on the rise, UI design is going green. Dark mode isn’t just trendy — it’s energy-saving. Minimalist designs reduce resource-heavy animations, making your apps lighter and kinder to the planet.

4. Augmented Reality (AR) in Everyday Apps

AR is no longer confined to gaming. From shopping to fitness, UI designers are integrating AR elements to make interfaces immersive and interactive. Virtual fitting rooms? Yes, please!

5. Voice-First Interfaces

As voice tech evolves, more interfaces are being designed to be controlled by what you say rather than what you tap. Think interfaces that visually react to voice commands, enhancing accessibility.

6. Glass morphism Evolves

The frosted-glass effect is getting a 2025 upgrade. Paired with vibrant gradients, Glass morphism is becoming more immersive, with depth, shadows, and motion creating almost tangible UI elements.

7. Neobrutalism’s Softer Side

Neobrutalism is stepping back from its stark, bold roots. Designers are blending its rawness with soft gradients, rounded edges, and warm tones, creating striking yet approachable layouts.

8. 3D Meets Minimalism

3D design elements aren’t about clutter anymore. Expect subtle, well-placed 3D icons, buttons, and illustrations that add a layer of realism without overwhelming the user experience.

✨Final Thoughts

2025 is all about merging creativity with usability. The best interfaces will be the ones that feel effortless and human, meeting users where they are — both emotionally and technologically.

Discover 2025’s top web design trends curated by Muzli

The Design Trends Shaping 2025

The fusion of technology and creativity continues to reshape the digital landscape in 2025. At Muzli, we’re excited to explore the trends that are shaping the future of web design. Here’s a curated look at the most significant trends influencing the web this year.

1. Websites That Tell a Story

I’ve noticed that websites are becoming more than just static pages — they’re turning into immersive narratives that unfold as you scroll. This shift towards storytelling makes browsing a dynamic experience, where each scroll reveals a new part of the journey. It’s about crafting stories that engage and resonate, making the user experience more meaningful.

2. Interactive 3D Elements

The use of interactive 3D elements is transforming web design. Thanks to tools like Spline and PeachWeb, creating 3D texts, characters, scenes, and amorphous elements has never been easier. These innovations add depth and realism, blurring the lines between digital and physical experiences.

3. Embracing WEBGL Effects and GSAP Animations

Platforms like Unicorn Studio are making WEBGL effects accessible, enabling designers to deliver stunning visuals directly in the browser. Combined with GSAP’s powerful JavaScript animations, designers can now create high-performance, interactive visuals without deep coding knowledge.

This trend is amplified by the growing integration of GSAP into no-code platforms like Webflow, allowing intricate animations and micro-interactions to be seamlessly implemented. This collaboration bridges the gap between creativity and accessibility, enabling visually stunning and highly interactive websites.

4. AI-Generated Images and Videos

AI is revolutionizing content creation. While AI-generated visuals gained traction last year, 2025 is taking them to the next level. The ability to produce unique, tailored scenes with ease is streamlining content production. Designers can now create dynamic, responsive visuals that elevate user engagement.

5. The Power of Micro-Animations

Micro-animations might not be new, but their impact is growing. With more designers involved in website creation thanks to no-code tools, we have greater influence over these subtle animations. Platforms like Webflow, Wix Studio, and Framer are making it easier to implement micro-animations effectively. These tools empower designers to add interactive elements without writing code, enhancing user interaction and making websites feel more alive. They offer built-in animation features and intuitive interfaces that simplify the process of adding micro-animations to our projects. This contributes to a smoother and more intuitive user experience.

10 Blog Design examples & Inspiration

A Curated Showcase of Exceptional Blogs

When it comes to blog design, there’s no one-size-fits-all. From minimalist layouts to bold and vibrant interfaces, each style brings its own unique flavor to the reading experience. In this post, we’ll explore 10 different blog designs, each showcasing a distinct approach to layout, typography, and visual storytelling. Whether you’re looking for something sleek and professional or playful and experimental, these examples offer a variety of styles, all done with creativity and precision. Get ready to be inspired by the diversity and excellence in blog design!


The Swaddle

Design Focus: Bold Visual Storytelling Meets Editorial Simplicity

The Swaddle is a digital platform that delves into a wide array of topics, including health, gender, culture, and societal norms, offering deep insights and commentary on pressing social issues. It addresses the intersections of modern life, culture, and identity with thoughtful, progressive perspectives, making complex topics accessible to a broad audience.

Visually, the design reflects the publication’s bold and dynamic content. The homepage is dominated by large, striking illustrations that immediately grab attention, often using collage techniques and vibrant, contrasting colors like red, pink, and orange. This artful approach sets the tone for the intense subject matter covered by the articles.

Choosing the Right Icon Set for SaaS Product Design

How to Select the Best Icons for Your SaaS Product in 2024

Icons are a small but mighty part of SaaS product design. They help users navigate, understand, and interact with your product seamlessly. But with so many icon sets out there, how do you choose the right one? Let’s dive into what you need to consider and explore some inspiring options.

Key Considerations for Choosing an Icon Set

1. Icon Variety

Ever fallen in love with an icon set only to find it lacks the icons you need? It’s frustrating, especially for large projects. When choosing an icon set, ensure it offers a wide range of icons. A comprehensive set covers all your needs, from common actions like saving and deleting to specific functions unique to your product. This variety helps maintain a consistent look and feel across your entire project.

Iconia Pro | 32,000+ Icons

2. Vector Icons for Scalability

Scalability is crucial. Icons need to look good on all screen sizes, from mobile to desktop. Vector icons, especially SVGs, are perfect because they can be resized without losing quality. They’re also easy to customize — change colors, shapes, or sizes to fit your design without any loss of detail. Plus, vector icons are lightweight, which means faster load times and a better user experience.

Iconia Pro | 32,000+ Icons

3. Icon Font Libraries

Icon font libraries like Font Awesome or Material Icons are incredibly convenient. You can treat icons just like text, applying CSS properties to change their color, size, and more. This makes them highly flexible and easy to manage. They also scale well, ensuring your icons look sharp on any device. And with thousands of icons available, these libraries usually have you covered for any design need.

4. Multiple Styles in Icon Sets

Flexibility is key. Icon sets that offer multiple styles — like line, filled, and colorful versions of the same icon — give you the versatility to adapt to different design contexts while keeping a consistent visual language. For example, you might use line icons for secondary actions and filled icons for primary actions. This differentiation helps users quickly understand and interact with your interface.

IconShelf: IconShelf is a powerful tool for organizing and managing your icon libraries. It supports various formats and allows you to keep all your icons in one place, making it easy to find and use them when needed.


Fontello: Fontello allows you to create custom icon fonts from a selection of icons, simplifying the integration of icons into your projects. It helps in managing icon fonts effectively, ensuring that your icons are scalable and easy to use.

Icones: is a comprehensive platform for browsing and exploring a vast collection of icons from various sources. It provides an intuitive interface for searching and previewing icons, making it easy to find the perfect icons for your projects and integrate them seamlessly.

10 Web Design Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Creating a visually appealing and user-friendly website can be challenging. However, there are common mistakes that can detract from the user experience and negatively impact your site’s performance. Here are ten common web design mistakes and how to avoid them.

1. Ignoring Mobile Responsiveness

Mistake: Many designers focus solely on desktop versions of their websites, neglecting the growing number of mobile users.

Solution: Use responsive design techniques to ensure your website looks great on all devices. Tools like CSS media queries can help you create a flexible layout that adapts to different screen sizes.


2. Overloading with Content

Mistake: Crowding your pages with too much text and too many images can overwhelm visitors and obscure your message.

Solution: Keep your design clean and simple. Use whitespace strategically to give your content room to breathe, and focus on delivering concise, impactful information.


3. Poor Navigation

Mistake: Complicated or unclear navigation can frustrate users and make it difficult for them to find what they’re looking for.

Solution: Design an intuitive navigation system with clear labels and a logical hierarchy. Consider including a search bar for added convenience.


4. Slow Load Times

Mistake: Slow websites frustrate users and lead to high bounce rates.

Solution: Optimize images, use efficient coding practices, and leverage caching to improve your site’s load times. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights can help identify areas for improvement.


5. Ignoring SEO Principles

Mistake: Neglecting SEO can make your website difficult to find through search engines.

Solution: Incorporate basic SEO principles, such as using descriptive titles, meta descriptions, and alt tags for images. Ensure your content is keyword-rich but natural-sounding.


6. Inconsistent Design Elements

Mistake: Using inconsistent fonts, colors, and styles can create a disjointed user experience.

Solution: Establish a style guide for your website and stick to it. Consistency in design helps build a cohesive and professional look.


7. Lack of Accessibility

Mistake: Failing to design for accessibility excludes users with disabilities.

Solution: Follow Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to make your site accessible to all users. Use features like alt text for images, keyboard navigation, and readable fonts.


8. Not Testing Across Browsers

Mistake: Designing for only one browser can lead to compatibility issues on others.

Solution: Test your website across multiple browsers to ensure a consistent experience. Tools like BrowserStack can help with cross-browser testing.


9. Overuse of Animations

Mistake: Excessive animations can distract users and slow down your site.

Solution: Use animations sparingly and ensure they serve a functional purpose. Avoid using heavy animations that can impact performance.


10. Ignoring User Feedback

Mistake: Not considering user feedback can result in a website that doesn’t meet user needs.

Solution: Collect and analyze user feedback to make informed design improvements. Use surveys, usability testing, and analytics to gather insights.

Shedding Light on Dark Mode design: Fashion Fad or Functional Must-Have?

Hey, Muzli lads and lasses!

I’m Eyal Zuri, a designer, and co-founder of Muzli, that yummy design inspiration tool. Besides wrestling pixels and obsessing over UX and UI in our beloved realm of design, I have to confess, I am somewhat of a fanboy of trends and, yes, Dark Mode.

Enough about me though, let’s dive into the mystery that’s been looming in the design sphere like Batman over Gotham: the phenomenon of dark mode UI.

The question is, is dark mode simply an attractive pixeled outfit everyone wants to wear now, or does it hide some serious functional benefits under its sleek black garb? Grab your design goggles, because we are about to dive deep into the sea of dark mode UI!

There’s no denying the undeniable charm of the dark mode UI. It’s the James Bond of design — sleek, sophisticated, and seems to favor martinis served “shaken, not stirred”.

Dark Mode — the Trendsetter or Gamechanger? This is the question.

Dark mode, a.k.a the digital world’s ‘nightclub’ experience. Everyone is jumping into this dark ship, from Twitter and Whatsapp to individual app developers rapidly launching dark versions. But let’s face it: Just like in fashion, not all trends are necessarily practical or necessary (like those needle-thin ties or extra ripped jeans).

For instance, a good use case for dark mode can be found in a car navigation application. The darkened screen at night prevents glare and ensures the driver’s visibility remains uncompromised during travel.

On the contrary, a poor example of dark mode implementation might be seen in a blog featuring lengthy articles. Reading white text on a black background can strain the eyes and make it difficult for users to digest the content effectively.

Show me the (Dark) Money

So, the real question is: To Dark Mode or not to Dark Mode? To answer this, let’s weigh the pros and cons.

Certainly, I’d love to expand on those points for you.

Pros:

1. Reduce Eye Strain: Dark mode is known for significantly lowering eye strain, particularly in low-light conditions. Late night web surfers and after-dark app users can heave a sigh of relief — no more squinting at brilliant white screens!

2. Save Energy: If you’re an environmentally conscious user or just looking to save on battery life, dark mode is your friend. Display technologies like OLED or AMOLED use less power while utilizing dark mode, giving a boost to your energy conservation efforts.

3. Aesthetically Pleasing: Done correctly, dark mode is a feast for the eyes. Its warmth and depth can give designs a sleek, modern, and often luxurious feeling, enhancing user engagement and delight.

4. Increase Focus: Some users report increased focus while working in a darker interface as it reduces the distraction caused by other elements on the screen.

5. Market Appeal: Dark mode isn’t just power-efficient and easier on the eyes, it can also be a total eye candy! A sleek, striking, and sexy interface can be a powerful tool to attract and retain users.

Cons:

1. Legibility Issues: While dark mode can ease eye strain, it doesn’t always guarantee easy readability. Contrast between the text and background needs careful calibration, otherwise, the text may become hard to decipher, causing user discomfort. A classic example is Google’s Calendar app, where the dark mode has made it harder to distinguish between past and upcoming events.

2. Inconsistent Results Across Displays: The effectiveness of dark mode depends largely on the type of screen it’s viewed on. While it may look splendid on OLED displays, the results can be underwhelming on LCD screens because of their incapacity to completely switch off pixels.

3. Color Distortion: Dark mode can lead to color distortion, particularly with bright, vibrant hues. It makes them appear more saturated, affecting the overall visual consistency.

4. Not Suitable For All Content Types: Some types of content are better suited for light mode. For instance, if an application is text-heavy, using light mode can enhance readability as dark texts on a light background are generally easier to read.

5. Outdoor Visibility: Outdoor lighting conditions can pose a challenge for dark mode users. In bright sunlight, it can be hard to see and work on a dark screen as it introduces heavy screen glare. The contrast issue also becomes prominent as it becomes tough to distinguish different elements on the screen. This means that if your users are frequently outdoors, they might not be as thrilled with the dark mode.

Summing it up — The Dark Mode Playbook

Like practically everything in life, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Sometimes, you might want to jump into the dark mode bandwagon, and sometimes not.

If you opt for the dark side, meticulously play around with contrast levels, typography sizes, and test it across multiple displays. Never compromise on the most important aspect: a smooth, user-friendly experience.

If you decide to keep things light, that’s alright too. Maybe top it up with a cheeky little ‘currently sunbathing’ notification. Add a little extra color to your user’s day!

So, dear Muzli-ans, till the next design trend makes its grand appearance, may your pixels be perfectly aligned, your colors be on point, and most importantly, may you keep loving every step of this glorious design journey!

Anyway, back to our dark mode discussion or should we say ‘light-hearted’ debate? 🥁 “Oh well, there goes Eyal, the Dark-Lord again!”

Alright, it’s time to sign off before my passion for puns freaks you out! See you around in the other side of the color spectrum!

P.S

In any case, this entire post was actually an excuse to tell you that we have a new tool for creating color combination generator using AI, and guess what, its interface is a super sexy Dark mode.

Enjoy!
