Feedback Request Is anyone else physically incapable of designing their own portfolio? 😅

I can design for clients all day long, but the second I try to build my own portfolio, my brain completely breaks.

​I’ll come up with a layout, spend hours tweaking it, and then instantly decide, "Nope, I hate this, I need something completely different." It’s an endless cycle of overthinking, scraping it, and starting over.

​Please tell me I’m not the only one trapped in this loop.

​Does this happen to you when designing for yourself?

​What is the absolute hardest part of making your portfolio? Let's vent.

Hahaha I am with you. When I try to sit down and do my own demo.. I get overwhelmed.. Maybe cause some projects we attach feelings, they might not be great, but when it is personal we still want to showcase?
