Eric is a Toronto-based graphic designer who specializes in creative branding and visual storytelling. His style often incorporates modernist approaches, clean lines, and simple geometry. The clean, minimal design of his site reflects his forward-thinking style while allowing his colorful, detailed portfolio to take center stage.

Each example in his portfolio features helpful context and background information. It’s always enlightening to gain insight into a designer’s decision-making process, and Eric’s portfolio does a great job telling the story of each project.

Marrow.design is the website of Portland, OR-based furniture designer Robert Rahm. Founded in 2014, Marrow is based in the desire to create graceful and elegant furniture with timeless appeal.

Just like the furniture, Marrow.design is a beautiful, minimal site. Rahm’s designs take center stage, with high-quality product photographs emphasised by generous whitespace. The subtle earth-tone of the Marrow brand name even mirrors the natural wood hues of the furniture.

Marrow.design shows the range of .design domains beyond the common disciplines of graphic design or UX/UI design. Even artisanal, handcrafted furniture benefits from a memorable domain name that connotes creativity and attention to detail.

Musho.design is the personal portfolio of Michal Simkovic, a digital designer focused on UI design for mobile and web apps.

“Design in general should be a solution to a problem,” says Michal. “Ideally the best design is ‘just enough’ design: like music in a movie, it perfectly matches the story, so you don’t even notice it’s there.”

With this in mind, buying the URL musho.design and redirecting all his other domains to it was a natural decision. As he explains: “It’s a great match with my profession. Compared to .com it’s longer, but more human.”

When your website address in a country domain, such as co.uk or co.ie, you’re immediately announcing to the world where you’re based, which may make people from other countries instinctively turn away. In 2021, however, design has never been more international, and a .design domain is a perfect way of showing that your reach is global.

“A .design name is the new way to discover new talent all over the world,” says Rodrigo Montoya, an architect and interior designer from Bogotá-Columbia. “I actually feel that I can get into a closer dialogue with my potential customers using roko.design as my main page.”
