I'd really like a better understanding of what causes designers to struggle with their portfolios, without the talking down or survivorship bias from people who don't share these problems.

one of my biggest struggles is that i don't consider myself a particularly apt designer technically so I'm always trying to build a portfolio that reflects my entire 'package' as a person/professional that i feel like 'just the work' loses out on some of that minutiae.
Been there. Makes me think of that Ira Glass quote about how your taste inspires you, but your early work won’t match it until you close the gap with relentless practice.
