Uhh. Can you help me pick, A or B? 🙏
I'm drafting client's landing page using 2 of the most advanced AI models: Anthropic (Fable) and OpenAI (Sol).
Both delivered a banger result from a single prompt (I'll put it in the comments).
Can you tell which model delivered which output? 😏

I think both are AI generated UI
correct if I'm worng.
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 🤗
Just finished designing this Agency Portfolio Website.
Clean, modern, and built to showcase creative work with a strong visual impact.
