On October 9, 2026, I led a virtual Lunch and Learn for Innovation UBC on how to build a personal or venture website with AI. It was open to Venture Founder participants and alumni, HATCH companies and UBC researchers.
This workshop became Innovation UBC's most popular Lunch and Learn of 2026, with the most registrations and the highest attendance.
What I covered
I walked participants through every step I took to build and launch my own portfolio website in a weekend:
- Creating a Claude project and setting up a context folder
- Collaborating with Claude on a project brief
- Creating HTML mockups for review and editing
- Buying a domain and hosting the site on GitHub once it’s ready to go live
I shared my key prompts throughout, so participants left with everything they need to build their own site, ideally with the AI tool of their choice, in half the time it took me.
