Technically, I have some online activity I could try to refer to for work purposes, but it would mean sharing content tied to usernames/profiles I think of more as casual and personal. I could delete those profiles and move the relevant work to usernames/profiles I’m willing to share, but then I’m less likely to use those as much for portfolio building as I wouldn’t want to contribute/do things online under a more public-facing profile, or link my personal ones to said profile.

Any which way I think about it involves crossing private/public streams I’d prefer to keep uncrossed, but I’m thinking I may be overlooking some compromises that could work, so what might those be?

There’s no easy answers.

Your instinct to keep the streams uncrossed is good.

I find that it at least got easier after I started to think about this as I created things.

How so? Also for what it’s worth, I’m not expecting answers, but some ideas or guidance, whether from others’ approaches or what they’ve come across in others’ practice.
