Ten years ago, generative brand tools required a developer and a real budget. Most designers could think these systems but hardly build them. Turns out, that changed. I recently designed a brand identity system that needed a way to unify speaker portraits from completely different sources. So with Claude as my partner in crime, I built Stippl, a browser-based tool that converts any portrait into a stippled illustration. It removes the background automatically and renders everything in dots, producing a consistent treatment every time. Brand assets, ready to use for everyone.
