Finally!

Welcome to my slice of the digital universe — where pixels meet passion, and every click brings a story to life.

This site is more than just a portfolio; it’s a collection of moments from a life lived in vivid colour and hands-on design. I realised it was time to restart my old website after it showed its age. So, I rolled up my sleeves and spent weeks building this new one from scratch using WordPress and Elementor. Here, you’ll find a window into my professional world, a sprinkle of my personal life, and everything else that’s been part of my journey.
Thinking about what matters in a world fuelled by AI
I’ve been asking myself: In a world where AI is ready to pick what we see and read, does my own story, my ‘Stello history’, still matter? I’ve decided that it does. Every bit of my past work is a piece of the puzzle that makes up who I am now in this space. With technology rapidly advancing, staying in touch and sharing ideas with others is more important than ever as we grapple with what it means to be human in the midst of our fourth industrial revolution.
Choosing project pieces
Choosing what to show you was a real walk down memory lane. Looking at each piece was like revisiting different chapters of my life, a mix of the personal and the professional. And sure, some of it made me think, “Blimey, that’s a bit old hat now,” but it still brought a grin to my face—cheers to the good old days! I’m here to connect with everyone, from professionals seeking polished governmental annual reports to creatives and community builders. This collection represents the breadth of my work – from the precision of corporate design to the spontaneity of personal creative endeavours. I’ve stored a lot of pixel and 90s 3D work – it looks more like a ‘vintage video game’ than ‘vintage wine, ‘ and it’s not quite right for the here and now. For old times ‘ sake, I might sprinkle a few throwbacks as we go. The collection you’ll find here is my journey – the path I’ve taken in my career.
Looking ahead: Teaming up with AI
Don’t expect a regular newsletter, but I’m always ready to chat about how AI is changing how we approach life. Tools like ChatGPT, DALL-E, and MidJourney are helping me develop new ideas and explore what I thought was impossible. When leveraging these tools for any project, having a clear vision for the desired outcome is essential. It’s akin to conducting an orchestra where AI serves as the instrument, bringing our aspirations to life. We aim to use these powerful tools to enhance our vision, not take over it or get lazy. If you stumble upon a happy accident during your exploration, that is a testament to the beautifulerrors of being human.
Final word
What’s the goal of this website? Well, I hope it’ll be a useful spot for you. At the very least, I’d like it to showcase what I’m about professionally and personally. Still with me? Brilliant! Dive in and see what you find. Happy browsing! 🙂
