When you work in a creative environment (and are social distancing or self-isolating), keeping close and collaborative can feel hard. Here’s a list of tools that can help that I’ve found useful.
Video calls
Whereby – A solid backup if Google Hangouts isn’t working. In this free version, we can have up to 4 people so good for small group chats.
Slack – you can make video calls in platform
Writing
Google docs – Obvs.

Miro – like a collaborative whiteboard, complete with post-it notes

Marvelapp – great for prototyping or showing flat designs
