Rocking it still today?
Designboom has been around since 1999. Birgit launched it just a year after us. It has been striving and gathering not only quality content but a large readership as well. Its appreciation keeps on growing.
Well deserved too imo.

The Jealous Creator was launched in 2009 by Danielle Krysa. Her self-depracating jealousy has led her to featuring projects fuelled by her phenomenal curiosity. A published author—her seriously in your face advice and sharp eye are uncommon qualities.

Swiss Miss is in Tina’s words: a design blog/studio she started in 2005. I actually discovered her portfolio right around then, and was taken by her different approach in presenting her design work. Her tentaculous projects are immensely successful.
One of her well-known project is the Creative Mornings which expanded the world over: not a small feat for a swiss girl in NYC.
I am currently head over heels in preparing my very first art portfolio and because of iOS way of cataloguing the camera roll – (I work with 3 devices each with its own directory) – I collated new work in individual folders as back up..
Leaving me with a massive task to do: reconciling, sifting and deleting all duplicates.
From 55k down to 10k just for my iPad Pro. Still got 7k+ from iPhone + iPad mini to sort after the 10k are done. View my art feed.

Netdiver Mag is on hiatus.

_______
She also earned double degrees in commerce and law and is widely recognized as one of the most influential millenial – though she is not fond of the naming..
_______
Her intelligence and depth of thought have comforted me while going through a tough spot in my art career:
“That’s near impossible when you bare your soul, nake and vulnerable in an oversaturated and harsh terrain of judgment.”
Built by Civilization is not only an audacious studio name but the complexity inferred by such naming – is transferred and fit into a very simple in appearance website.
_______
May take easily hours to visit. Brilliant!
_______
That logo is both inspirational and scary. Everything they do is cutting-edge or cutting through whatever edges left.

Connected to the internet's origins, building the internet of the future. We’re building ways to help everyone fight for privacy online. I am a big fan of their services.
What a strange name for an independent Internet privacy company. Contrary to G/ who records every instance of their services useage with DDG, no recording of your data, EVER!!!
