How many times have you opened your portfolio and closed it again?

How many times have you opened your portfolio...

looked at it for a while...

changed a few things...

and closed it again?

Once?

Five times?

For the past 18 months? :)

I’ve realized something from talking to designers about their portfolios:

Most of us don’t actually have a portfolio problem.

We have a starting, stopping, starting-again problem.

Maybe you already have the projects.

Maybe you even have the Figma file.

Or maybe you’re staring at a blank page thinking:

where the hell do I even start?

And now AI has made this somehow easier and more confusing at the same time.

Claude Code. Figma. Framer. Cursor. Whatever launched last Tuesday.

You keep thinking:

Maybe I should figure out the right tool first.

And while you’re figuring out the future of AI...

your portfolio remains exactly where it was.

Which is why I built Build Hour around one simple loop:

DESIGN → BUILD → SHIP.

Not another six-week portfolio course.

Not three weekends disappearing into Figma.

And definitely not becoming a developer before you’re allowed to put your work online.

For the next 36 hours, I’m giving your unfinished portfolio something it probably hasn’t had in a while:

a deadline.

For exactly 36 hours, use the code:

36HOURS

to get 36% off any Portfolio Build Hour experience.

Choose how much support you want:

SELF-PACED — $56.96 instead of $89

Give me the process. I’ll take it from here.

GUIDED GROUP — $95.36 instead of $149

I want to build it, but I want help when I get stuck.

PORTFOLIO VIP — $159.36 instead of $249

I want Karla’s eyes on my portfolio.

Three ways in.

One goal:

Design it. Build it. Ship it.

The code 36HOURS disappears in 36 hours.

Your portfolio doesn’t have to be perfect by then.

Actually, your portfolio doesn’t have to be perfect at all.

It needs to exist.

And then you can make it better.
