Behind the page is Ali Traibiz, a 26-year-old digital marketing and social media marketing expert. "My passion for modern design drives me to curate and showcase content that highlights the beauty and innovation of contemporary spaces," he tells Bored Panda. "Alongside my professional journey, I'm also an athlete, which instills discipline and creativity in all aspects of my life."

"Running 'Call It Design' has been an incredible experience," Ali shares. "[It allows] me to merge my love for design with my expertise in building online communities. Watching this community grow and connect over shared interests has been one of the most rewarding aspects of this journey."

Ali has been running the "Call It Design" page for four years now. We were curious to know the secret behind the Internet Magazine's longevity. "When I first started 'Call It Design,' it was simply a passion project," Ali told us. "A place where I could gather and showcase the kinds of design that I personally found inspiring."

"Over the years, what's kept it going strong is the genuine connection it has with the audience. I think the secret lies in staying true to a few core principles: consistency, creativity, and community." The 149k followers the page garnered through the years may not be massive, but it's all about quality, not quantity, right?


Ali also explained what he considers to be good modern design. "I've always believed that great design is about more than just aesthetics—it's about the stories that these designs tell, the emotions they evoke, and how they make spaces (and lives) function better."

"Every post I share aims to strike that balance between beauty and practicality, and I think that's what has helped 'Call It Design' resonate with so many people over time. Design trends may change, but the love for something that truly works—on both a functional and emotional level—remains constant," Ali believes.

Traibiz says that the support and comments from the page's followers also motivate him to keep the account going. "The feedback from the audience has been a source of motivation to keep curating content that not only inspires but also creates conversations around design choices," he shares.

Of course, each post resonates with different people. We asked Ali which design styles—the more minimalist, Scandinavian designs or maximalist spaces—his audience responds to the most. "The audience response to various design styles is one of the most fascinating parts of running this page," Ali admits.

"Minimalist and modern styles, with their clean lines and focus on simplicity, always garner a lot of attention," the creator says. "I think people are drawn to the idea of decluttering and the peace that comes with a minimalist space. It's a style that gives you room to breathe, both physically and mentally, and that's something people crave in our fast-paced world."

"But then there's the opposite—maximalist, bohemian, and more eclectic styles—that evoke equally passionate responses," Ali continues. "These designs tend to create a sense of wonder, almost like stepping into a visual story where every object has a history, every color has meaning, and every pattern tells a tale."

The creator of "Call It Design" that while it may not be everyone's cup of tea, the more eclectic styles generate more discussions. "What's interesting is that these bolder styles tend to spark more conversations," he says. "They challenge the norms and invite people to debate, explore, and even reconsider their own preferences."

"While the minimalist styles tend to inspire admiration, it's the more layered, complex designs that invite dialogue—and that mix is what makes curating content so much fun," Ali sums up. "The audience's reactions help guide what I post, but I also like to push boundaries and expose them to styles they might not normally engage with."
