After years of building sites for founders, I finally designed my own portfolio. Here is what I learned being my own client.
I have designed products, brands, and websites for other people for years. My own portfolio did not exist, mostly out of fear. When the client is you, every choice feels permanent.
So I treated myself like a real client and wrote a brief: who is it for (founders), what should they feel (this person ships), what should they do (reach out).
Built it in Framer (used Aerra template as base) and shipped it before I could overthink it again. If you are a designer stuck on your own portfolio, that last part is the real advice: done and out beats perfect and hidden.
It is at meetuv.com if you want to tear it apart. Honest feedback welcome.
