Make the affiliation clear

A personal project or independent offer may sit alongside employment. Dhawal Laheri's Tap Tap Go vision can help organise these different parts of a professional identity, provided the profile does not blur who is represented. The recipient should know whether a conversation concerns the individual practice or the employer's work.

Use suitable material and routes

Keep company resources, authority and contacts within their appropriate context. Explain the independent offer accurately and avoid suggesting endorsement from an employer unless it exists. A clear separation can make the person's broader capabilities understandable without asking the reader to infer where one responsibility ends and another begins. The identity remains connected, while the relationships and expectations stay distinct.

Imagine this

Hypothetical scene

Hypothetically, someone maintains an independent creative practice alongside a company role. Their profile context clearly distinguishes the two, helping a new contact enquire about the personal work without assuming the company is involved.

Make it practical.
