After a three-year stint in the New York design world, Folkert Gorter returned to Amsterdam and eventually opened his studio, Superfamous. The designer’s wide body of work is displayed on a site that’s meant to be a highly accessible portfolio rather than a venue for showing off programming tricks, gadgets, or loading sequences. A simple split-screen site displays the work on one side, and navigation on the other. It’s easy to browse thumbnails on the right and pull up a more detailed look at something that piques your interest on the left.

The site has helped Gorter tap into opportunities for everything from networking and inspiration to travel and speaking opportunities. “By simply putting your work out there you open yourself, your personal development, and your life in general up to new possibilities and challenges,” he says. “I know many designers that are much more talented than myself, but who’ve received minimum recognition because of the simple fact that no one knows about their work. When you put your work out there, you’ll be amazed by the amount of response and interest it generates.”
