am i allowed to opt for all of the above? my attention profile is certainly colorful, at least i'd imagine. 😂
The way the watch rotates as the collateral piece is a smart touch, it makes the loan feel tied to a real object instead of just a number on a screen. What's the fallback for items that don't photograph as well as a watch?
I built Varelo into a small agency. A team of 4.
I thought that was the goal. It sounds good when you say it out loud. "I run a team." "I have people working for me." For a while I believed that was the version of this business I actually wanted.
Then I looked at the last few months and noticed something. I had barely designed anything myself. The team did the design work. I did project management, client calls, keeping things moving. All useful, none of it the reason I started this in the first place.
So I sat with that for a while and got honest with myself. What I actually love is sitting with a client, understanding their vision, and turning that into something real. A website, a brand, a feeling. That process is the entire reason I got into this. Not managing a team. Not scaling headcount. The making.
So I am going back to that. Varelo is becoming a freelance studio again, me doing the design work directly with clients, not handing it off and checking in later.
If you are a business owner with a real vision for your website and you want to work directly with the person actually designing it, not passed between account managers, send me a message. Let's see if we are a fit.
Well done… praying you get the best out of this decision 🤗
