The most POWERFUL content asset? It's NOT in my templates, it's inside your company, life journey, and mind.
Once you see how to tap into that, everything external stops scaring you.
Be it AI, the algorithm gods, or people's opinions of you.

So cool, content from the best 🔥
Made a 5-part series with Contra University on how I actually use Flora on client branding projects, the same workflows behind $250K+ in freelance work.
The first video is now live! Not "how to write a prompt." How to build reusable visual systems you can sell.

How do you know when it's time to rebuild a portfolio?
For me, it was a slow realization. My work, thinking, and vision had quietly outgrown the site - and at some point, I couldn't ignore it anymore.
The problem wasn't the design. It was that I kept growing, and the site didn't.
So I finally rebuilt it. From scratch. No templates, no shortcuts - Framer for structure, Rive animations woven throughout. I wanted the site itself to feel like a piece of work, not just a shelf for work.

Building it also made me think harder about what actually belongs in a portfolio. Because a rebuild forces you to make cuts. And cuts are uncomfortable.
A few questions I kept coming back to:
→ Does this project still represent how I think?
→ Would I be proud to walk a client through this today?
→ Is it here because it's good or because I spent a lot of time on it?
That last one is the hardest.
Would love to know how you approach this. When does a project stop earning its place?
Awesome work
How are you actually structuring your AI workflow right now - are your tools connected, or are you still using them separately?
I’ve landed on a pretty simple system using just Claude + Flora.
Claude is where I develop the thinking - my existing brand direction, concepts, and refining prompts until they actually reflect the creative intent behind the project.
Flora is where that intent becomes visual. It’s a node-based canvas, so I can generate imagery, iterate variations, drop in mockups, and build full product scenes in one connected system.
I don’t see AI replacing design thinking. I see it speeding up execution while I stay fully in control of direction, taste, and decisions.
Curious to hear from you guys 🤔
📢 What does your AI workflow look like right now?
📢 What tools are you actually using day to day?
📢 And is there anything you think I should check out?
Would love to hear how others are building their systems.
