honestly, i’m just trying to know what to describe myself as. i make music professionally as a singer. I also paint and draw (traditionally and digitally) as a character designer and illustrator and I’m currently working towards a career as a concept artist for animation. I also do a bit of graphic design. I also am a designer (clothes) and fashion content creator.
i feel corny writing aaallll of that in my bio so i’m trying to have one sole name to describe myself. then if the conversation comes up, i could go into details.
so please, what umbrella do i fall under? :’(

Interdisciplinary work means combining different fields of study to create something new, while multidisciplinary work involves using knowledge from different fields without merging them together.
Interdisciplinary usually means meaningfully combining expertise across two different fields. If you recorded yourself singing, then drew some visual representation of the resulting recording, that would be interdisciplinary. If you sang something, then the next day drew something unrelated, that would be multidisciplinary.
This thread is old and it sounds like you already got great advice, but here’s something I thought of for the future:
Sometimes it’s helpful to think of the different parts of a word, identify what those parts mean, and work from there.
You have MULTI-ple disciplines. Are those disciplines INTER-acting?
It’s not perfect, but it’ll help!
