Can you use Fake Projects in your Portfolio?

Your portfolio isn’t just a collection of past jobs, it’s a showcase of what you could do if given the right opportunity. This video nails the point: instead of waiting for the perfect client, create a project that lets you flex your skills without constraints.

What really stood out to me was the idea of pushing it beyond a static mockup—actually building the project in Webflow, Framer, or even code to bring it to life. I haven't done that a lot, because its so time consuming and we have jobs, families, hobbies.
