Stop using your work laptop or phone for personal stuff, because I know you are

I've done this before with one VM per client. Makes archiving etc. simple also, and means that per-client setup stuff never tramples on each other.

Gives an answer for how you firewall sensitive data also, e.g. every document you gave me never existed anywhere except in this (potentially encrypted) VM. Easy to delete cleanly.

That sounds like a clean way to organize multiple clients.

For some types of development, I find working on a remote server using SSH/Mosh/tmux works really well for me. I am retired now but I used to ask clients to rent a reasonably powerful VPS that we both had access to and just worked on that. I think this gave customers good control over their property (i.e., the work I did on their behalf).
