Description

Interior design is about more than creating beautiful spaces. Developing into a strong designer requires learning how to think through a project, communicate your ideas, make confident decisions, manage the design process, and translate what you learn in school into real-world practice. This mentorship package provides ongoing, personalized guidance for interior design students, recent graduates, career changers, and emerging designers who want support as they develop their skills and professional direction. Across our sessions, we can work through active design projects, concept development, space planning, material and furniture selections, presentations, portfolio development, career decisions, client communication, project organization, and the realities of working in the design industry. Our time will be tailored to your individual goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum. My role is not to do the work for you. I’ll challenge your thinking, help you identify what is and isn’t working, share professional perspective, and help you develop the confidence and judgment to make stronger decisions independently.


What you'll get from this package

A personalized development plan based on your goals, strengths, and growth areas.

Ongoing professional feedback on design projects, presentations, portfolio work, or career decisions.

Stronger design thinking and greater confidence explaining your decisions.

Practical guidance for navigating school, client work, job opportunities, and the transition into professional practice.

Clear priorities and action steps between mentorship sessions.

Interior Designer | Design Critique, Portfolio & Career Guidance

My experience in interior design combines formal design education with years of real-world, client-facing work. I hold an AAS in Interior Design and have continued my design education at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), where my work has included advanced studio projects, programming, space planning, material specification, concept development, presentations, and comprehensive design projects. Professionally, I've worked directly with residential clients on everything from defining their needs and developing concepts to space planning, material and furniture selections, presentations, and project execution. As a coach, I bring both perspectives to the table: what makes a design successful and how to communicate the thinking behind it. I can help you strengthen a project, work through a design problem, prepare for a critique, develop your portfolio, improve your presentation, or navigate the transition from design student to working professional. My goal isn't to design your project for you. It's to help you develop the confidence, judgment, and process to make stronger design decisions yourself.
