I work one-on-one with designers on portfolio reviews, project critiques, and CV positioning. Particularly useful if you're early in your career, switching from graphic design, or trying to break into product design or design systems work.

Most of the conversations I end up having are about the same thing, not what to make, but how to frame what already exists. What to lead with, what to cut, and how to make the right people see the right things.

One designer I worked with restructured their portfolio and CV and started receiving freelance requests shortly after. They now have enough client volume that they're opening their own studio.

A 45-minute 1:1 call where we talk through your work together and I give you a clear set of things to fix, prioritised, not a laundry list. Or a written portfolio review delivered as a PDF if you'd rather have something to reference later.

If one session isn't enough, we can continue.
