When entering a designer's site, we most often click on the "Profile" page. It's in our nature to be curious on who the creator of a certain design is. And, how this person has evolved his/her vivid imagination into this world. Hence, a designer's story becomes a crucial part when exposing one's work. The story you share will become a great benefit to you and strengthen the connection you share with your client.
What makes a Creative great isn't the ability of good craftsmanship alone (a misfortune for many of today's designers), but the skill to create a new idea inside of your prospect's mind. Manipulating as that might sound, it's not. Why? Because you can't create an idea if you don't care for the prospect's values and principles in life. If overlooking these, you'll go as far as being another designer standing in an everlasting line of competitors who're doing the same thing you're doing. Getting stuck in a market that rejects your work.
