On your site, you bill yourself as a "Product Designer—UI/UX Designer—Developer—Entrepreneur".
Who exactly would that appeal to? In most cases, startups hire to get specific things done they can't do themselves. It's not really much of a plus if a candidate is "close" to the level where they could provide value in several ways. If someone is great at something, that provides value right away.
This doesn't mean combining skills is a bad thing. It means that if you're a designer and want to bring your other skills to the table, you should focus everything around what those skills can do for your design. E.g, make a whole page about your design work. Mention how you take copywriting or internationalizations concerns into making a design handle text flexibly. Talk about producing HTML/CSS/JS interaction designs to improve communication and productivity when working with developers.
This way of showing off your breadth, you'd actually be strengthening your hireability as a designer rather than weakening it.
Finally just showcase your one most impressive piece of work. If people like it, they'll check out links to the others but it will have no chance of getting lost in the crowd.
