Sholio is a self-initiated experiment in using AI to fill creative gaps when budgets or resources are tight. All imagery was generated in Midjourney, and the concept brand — Akuma, a premium Japanese alcohol — was also developed through AI-assisted branding.

The goal was to see how far I could push these tools to create a complete, minimal portfolio-ready website without a single photoshoot. The result is a clean, flexible layout that could work for freelancers or agencies wanting to showcase their work in a polished, professional way.

Sholio combines AI-generated visuals with minimal typography and a lightweight structure, making it quick to adapt to different brands or projects. It proves that even without custom photography or big budgets, it’s possible to create a high-impact, story-driven site. For me, it’s also a blueprint for how AI can become part of a streamlined, efficient design workflow.
