How I Built a Portfolio for a Korean Company Using AI for Free

When applying to Korean companies, most ask: what is a portfolio, and how do I create one? A portfolio is a curated showcase of your work and past projects, and it matters as it’s a presentation of your skills and results, instead of just listing tasks on your resume.

If you work in tech, design, marketing, trading, or data, a portfolio helps employers or clients quickly see what you can do. For marketers and designers in particular, a strong portfolio should include your past work, strategy, and measurable data results, not just screenshots or list tasks in your resume.

Why Portfolios Are Important

A portfolio is like a receipt of all the projects you’ve done. It turns your experience into a clear story that shows what problem you solved, what action you took, and what changed because of your work.

What To Include

If you’re someone looking to get into the global content marketer industry as an example, focus on these sections:

• Profile, with a one-line summary of your positioning.
• Project archive, showing campaigns, articles, or brand initiatives.
• Within the project archive, STAR breakdowns, covering Situation, Task, Action, and Result.
• Visual proof, such as mockups and project images

For K-beauty specifically, your portfolio should show how you think strategically about a global audience, how you localize content for different markets, and how you measure success across channels (i.e. the tools you use).

How To Build It Fast

In 2026, one of the simplest ways to start is using Google Stitch, which Google describes as an AI driven design canvas for creating UI. Stitch can also work with images and text on the canvas, making it a practical way to prototype a portfolio without coding, but making it tailored and personalized to your use case. After all, a portfolio should represent YOU, right?

A prompt could define:

• Purpose
• Layout structure
• Content components
• Desing system

For example, if you are building a portfolio for a global content marketer position in the K-beauty space, your prompt should ask for a single-page layout with project modules and brand storytelling.

This is an example prompt to use:

“Design a high-fidelity single-page portfolio for a mid-level [female global content marketer] targeting the [K-beauty industry]. The page should feel like an editorial digital portfolio with brutalist structure, 1px black grid lines, oversized serif headlines, and geometric sans-serif body text, as a single page portfolio.

The portfolio should include:

• A minimalist header with navigation.
• A strong hero section with a professional title.
• A concise strategic profile statement.
• Four project case studies using the STAR framework.
• Grayscale mockups for each project.
• A bottom impact banner with bold numeric results.
• A simple footer with placeholder contact information.

The visual system should use only black, white, and subtle off-white backgrounds. Avoid color accents, rounded corners, gradients, and shadows. The final result should feel premium, intellectual, and highly organized.”

Google will now create a custom portfolio design for you with some AI generated images, text that you can customize later on. Here is the result for mine:

I’ve omitted the latter part of the page design for readability, but basically, you can go ahead and edit out these fields with the projects you’ve done so far. The AI generated page gives you example layout and images to work with, so you have an idea of where to get started.

Here’s how I could potentially edit out the text and feed it my own:

With this solution, you basically have a highly customized portfolio to work with that is tailored to your unique narrative. You can further customize the text to actually match the tasks listed in your resume.

Also note, you can further tweak the design by prompting it for your needs. For example, if I wanted to add in a clean profile picture of myself in the hero page, I can prompt it as such:

Afterwards, we get a little headshot to the left. I could’ve further kept tweaking this so the head shot is laid out in the center or to the right too.

Export And Send

Once the design and text editing is done, you can export this to Figma (a design software tool for further structuring or editing), or you can directly export it as a web link.

As of writing, this is the list of export abilities:

If you want the simplest publishing path, I recommend the ‘Instant Prototypes’ or ‘Figma’ export where you can then export it as a PDF.

If you are familiar with coding and web hosting, feel free to export the HTML code and then deploy it to a website. If you are curious on how to do this, just let me know by messaging me and I’ll create a guide around it.

Final Tip

The best portfolio is not the longest one. It is the one that makes your value obvious through structure, metrics, and a strong visual system.
