What you have learned while designing your own portfolio, which others should know?

While looking at different kinds of portfolios out there, I am a bit confused about how to design my own, is there a better approach while designing that I should know. I just made it without thinking much. Tried to make it as simple as possible for now, One thing that I think which is really important is that your portfolio should be uniquely defining you. Making it interesting and playful can also add a reasonable amount of value.
