College Art & Design Portfolio Advising

$130 per hour

Develop an artistic voice and curate student’s art and design portfolios for college. Most college counseling programs place heavy pressure on GPAs and standardized testing during the school year and funnel students into expensive, yet conventional, pre-college programs or camps during the summer.

I offer a bespoke strategy that takes the path less traveled. My approach empowers students to truly distinguish themselves while maintaining a balanced workload filled with enriching experiences.

My role functions as a multi-hybrid of an English tutor, creative director, and project manager. I provide curated readings tailored to each student’s individual interests, which directly inform their artistic practice. The portfolios they produce will be narrative-driven and contemporary pieces. For summer planning, I serve as a project manager, connecting students to unique activities and independent initiatives from my local and global craft communities.
