It can be so easy to get stuck in development and never feel that your portfolio is quite ready to share. Knowing how to develop, design, layout and pitch your prints to clients can be so daunting! That is why I created Portfolio Bootcamp. An 8 week program that guides you step by step through developing, creating, laying out and pitching your fashion print portfolio! Ready to stop trying to figure it all out on your own?

With fifteen years in the industry, I have sat on all sides of the table. Scrappy freelancer, in house designer & studio start up - to coaching creatives just like you to turn your passion for print design into a profitable business. I can't wait to work with you!

portfolio bootcamp

"When I joined the Portfolio bootcamp course, I had very limited knowledge of print design in the fashion world and the course opened another door to the world of surface pattern design for me. The best part of the course is preparing a portfolio based on the chosen market by each student, the provided feedback is helpful and a clear guidance for the next steps."
