Portfolios are the bane of my existence. Getting a website to look nice on a website is just so hard. Strongly considering just putting like 4 case studies and being done.

Why not just use CV as your portfolio? There’s projects, writing, and more

CV is an incredible all-in-one platform, and they are already experimenting with a portfolio-style page. However, I believe most designers still have that artist desire to express themselves somehow (but it's a great suggestion for what Justin is struggling with)

I would agree with this. My client base isn’t used to platforms like this, although hiring managers are. If I want more clients, they just look for portfolio. Not a CV (in my experience)
