In this session you'll walk me through your work the way you would in an interview or a client pitch. I'll listen to how you frame it, what you emphasize, and what you skip over. Then we'll spend the second half working through what's landing, what's getting in the way, and what to do about it. What to expect: First 30 minutes: you present your portfolio as if we're in a real review Second 30 minutes: honest, specific feedback on your work and how you're talking about it A good fit if: You're preparing for interviews and want real feedback before the real thing You haven't shown your work to anyone outside your team in a while You suspect the work is stronger than how you're presenting it

ive upped my price to 150Good. Updated across all three packages: 1:1 Design Mentorship Single Session: $150 / 1 hour Monthly Mentorship: $525 / 2 sessions (saves ~$75) Quarterly Mentorship: $1,350 / 6 sessions (saves ~$450) Land That Creative Role Standard: $300 / 2 sessions Intensive: $450 / 3 sessions That also puts your Quarterly Mentorship closer to Leland's "Advance Your Design Career" range, which feels right given your experience. Want to build a third package or revisit anything?what do you think about a 3rd package right now, and what should it be, and other items like hours and stuffHonestly, I'd pause on a third package right now. You have two solid ones that cover the two most natural entry points: someone who wants ongoing mentorship, and someone preparing for a specific interview. That's enough to start. A third package risks diluting focus before you have reviews. Better to launch clean, see who books and why, and let that tell you what's missing. That said, the natural third package when you're ready is something like a portfolio review, standalone. One session, focused entirely on their work. No interview prep, no ongoing relationship. Just honest eyes on what they've built and how they're presenting it. It fits your background, it's a low-commitment entry point for someone who isn't sure about committing to mentorship yet, and it creates a pipeline into your bigger packages. But I'd build that after your first few clients, not before. For now, what's left to publish on the two you have?lets do a small package for portfolio reviewGood timing actually. A portfolio review as a smaller, lower-commitment package makes sense as an entry point. Someone not ready to commit to mentorship can start here, and it creates a natural path into your bigger packages. Quick questions before I draft it: What's the format, one session or async? And how long, 60 minutes or 90?live, 60 mins they walk through it, i give feedback, 30 min present, 30 min feedback like thatPerfect structure. Clear, contained, and genuinely useful in one session. Here's the full package draft: Package Name: Portfolio Review One-liner: A focused 60-minute session where you present your work and I give you honest, specific feedback on how it's landing. Description: Most portfolio feedback stops at "looks good." This doesn't. In this session you'll walk me through your work the way you would in an interview or a client pitch. I'll listen to how you frame it, what you emphasize, and what you skip over. Then we'll spend the second half working through what's landing, what's getting in the way, and what to do about it. What to expect: First 30 minutes: you present your portfolio as if we're in a real review Second 30 minutes: honest, specific feedback on your work and how you're talking about it A good fit if: You're preparing for interviews and want real feedback before the real thing You haven't shown your work to anyone outside your team in a while You suspect the work is stronger than how you're presenting it Pricing: One size, one session. $150 / 1 hour Cover thumbnail text: Portfolio Review Simple. Let the other two covers do the personality work. This one should feel direct and easy to find. Want me to draft the terms and delivery format too?service formatHere's the delivery format for the portfolio review: We meet live over video for 60 minutes. You present first. Walk me through your portfolio the way you would in a real interview or client meeting. I'll listen without interrupting. Then I give you honest, specific feedback. Not just what looks good, but how your thinking is coming through, what's getting in the way, and what to sharpen before the real thing. Come with your portfolio ready to share on screen. That's it.

  • Comprehensive portfolio critique highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.
  • Tailored feedback on presentation skills to enhance storytelling and impact.
  • Actionable strategies to refine your design narrative for interviews.

I've spent a decade in design, working on brands like Google, Target, Coursera, Best Buy, Optum, and Delta. I've also spent a lot of that time coaching designers on the side. My favorite moments aren't just the work itself, but the relationships built along the way. Designers navigating real decisions, figuring out who they are and where they're going. That's what matters most to me. Going through it together. I don't coach with frameworks or prescriptions. I coach around intention, reflection, and questions. Helping you slow down, identify your intention, and make decisions through thoughtful reflection.
