multihyphenate
Wears many hats
A multihyphenate is someone who works across multiple creative professions—actor-writer-director, singer-songwriter-producer.
The term references the hyphens joining these roles: She's a true multihyphenate, juggling film, music, and fashion.
The word often carries admiration for versatility, though it can suggest dilettantism when someone spreads themselves too thin.
