Edward Bello

Personal brand websites often present information in a static, fragmented way, making it hard for visitors to quickly understand who the person is, what they do, and how to engage with their work in a meaningful, interactive manner.

I built a modern personal brand website that combines a clean, content-driven experience with an AI-powered chatbot. Instead of forcing users to navigate multiple pages, the chatbot allows visitors to directly ask questions about Edward Bello, his background, work, and services, creating a more conversational and engaging discovery experience.
