2016 Year in Review

We thought 2015 was a busy year, but things certainly didn’t slow down in 2016. After saying goodbye to our Dribbble HQ and becoming fully remote, the Dribbble team gathered for our annual Salem Summit in August.

This year we helped designers organize 142 Dribbble Meetups worldwide, improved our Jobs offering, ramped up our design podcast Overtime, and released a ton of new features.

We’re ramping up our team and look forward to big things in 2017 now that we’ve joined forces with Tiny.

Product Releases

We had some huge product releases this year that included Playbook, Places, Mobile Email Templates, and a Profile Redesign. We also redesigned many existing features including Find Designers, Playoffs, Meetups, Goods, and more.

See all of our product releases and feature updates in our 2016 Product Releases Project.
