I label myself as a graphic designer. I can't even make a decent-looking logo for my portfolio. I know I don't need one but it's annoying.

Do something with your initials

You are not alone.

It's amazing how we often have no problem creating a brand for an application or website, but end up hitting a brick wall when we try to create our personal brand.

My suggestion: look up on the best looking personal brand logos. You'll find lists of them. Great for inspiration.

yes, creating a brand for your self is the hardest job a graphic designer can do. My advice: don't! Ask for help by a fellow designer who knows you.
