If you’re part of the design community, you know that smart presentation is crucial. Upgrading to a .design domain offers you a welcome opportunity to reinvigorate your digital portfolio or refresh your online branding. With .design, you can create a more brandable and memorable URL and email address. It’s a great way to assert yourself and improve your contact with customers, whether you’re a freelancer, web developer, or creative studio.
Even if you’re not a designer, the fact that you’re reading this now means you probably have friends in creative fields: freelance graphic designers, UX/UI designers, illustrators, interior designers… Whoever you’re thinking of, show your support for their passion or their career by sending them this link!
If you want to join the ranks of leading companies in the design industries, the first step is to join them in the .design online neighborhood. As more globally recognized companies migrate to .design, the more your domain will also be associated with legitimacy and professionalism. Check out the sites from these household names paving the way: medium.design, etrade.design, dropbox.design, slack.design, amazon.design, mozilla.design, adobe.design, indeed.design, automattic.design… the list goes on!
While the big brands may be impressive, it’s the CV sites created by individual designers that we find particularly exciting. For example, Katie Che has set up her personal CV website at katiechen.design. Katie is currently a product designer at Slack, and her previous experience includes Airbnb, design feedback service Red Pen, and online marketplace Zibbet.
Design should not be exclusive.
“I strive to level the playing field for people to access opportunities and services through design and technology,” Katie says on the site. “Design should not be exclusive. I am a mentor for women and people of color in tech.” To that end, Katie has published a beautiful manifesto of her philosophy as a designer, collaborator, and ally.
