Now operating from Minneapolis, Kyle Phillips is a passionate interaction designer and developer actively working on installation and web experiences and his portfolio, really impressive.

Susanne Burri placeholder

Are you rebuilding your portfolio website? Well instead of showing a bland placeholder with site under construction as explanation, why not flaunt your past projects in a one-pager?

This is what Susanne Burri a super talented graphic designer from Paris, chose to do, so potential clients can still see her work and contact her for commissions.

Emanuel Barbosa

Wanna see a portfolio that contains complex information and succeeds in packaging everything in a simple and interesting way?

“From the beginning, Emanuel Barbosa chooses to embrace print, web, illustration, environments, product and fashion rather than specialize is design approach. Graphic design has been is first and major passion, therefore since 1998 he teaches this discipline at ESAD – Escola Superior de Artes e Design (Matosinhos, Portugal) and organizes exhibitions, workshops and lectures about this theme.”

Design for a good cause! Rafael Esquer (check the ‘Dimensional’ section to view his contribution) over 3 years ago received an email from Michael Bierut inviting him to be part of the School Library Initiative by designing a mural.
