An essential skill that most designers pick up as they practice more is curating their own resource library. UI kits occupy the middle shelf in the resource library of every interface designer. When inspiration strikes, just pull out a suitable kit and unleash your creativity, saving customisation and final touches for later.

It is only a designer who understands what other designers go through. Thus, the design community’s common practice of creating and sharing UI kits is indeed a life-saver. And it is a delight to find a well-curated and sharp UI kit, that too for free!

While checking out Dribbble for inspiration, we handpicked a few UI kits. Here are the 7 popular ones which may come handy:
