>NEVER USE YOUR NAME
This may sound stupid but it's actually a good tip.
If you search for my name in google the first result is a cringy as fuck picture from a geocities site about the metal band I had when I was 16 with corpse paint and shit.
I've had employers tell me how much they laughed while googling me

It's a great idea, you can change your pseudonym at any time and start fresh.
How do most Freelancers normally communicate with clients? Online, by phone or in person?
>>315917
email, skype, slack, im
>>315917
in my case email and whatsapp mostly, also dapulse for reviews/corrections
This is true

This is why your portfolio can't be a static dump to keep piling work on. If you don't like something anymore then just take it off.
And I shouldn't have to tell you to delete your deviantart
Sooo wrong no name no fame no good clients no money

if you're growing every week then you're clearly still a kid. Stick to the pseudonym then drop it when you get gud.
