Areas of Focus
My experience spans visual art, design, media arts, architecture-adjacent design thinking, film and television production, directing, cinematography, screenwriting, theater, music, dance, and interdisciplinary creative practice.
For example:
- A filmmaker who approaches editing like choreography.
- A dancer interested in biomechanics.
- A painter obsessed with archival research.
- A programmer building interactive installations.
- A student whose creativity is not extracurricular, but foundational to how they perceive and engage with the world.
These students are often far more compelling than they realize—if the application is structured in a way that allows readers to truly see them.
Services
My work is highly individualized and may include:
- application-wide language coordination
- personal statement and supplemental essay feedback
- artist statement refinement
- portfolio sequencing and presentation strategy
- creative supplement positioning
- interdisciplinary narrative development
- audition and portfolio contextualization
- written feedback and asynchronous document review
- portfolio development guidance for visual art and design students
Structure & Rates
Consulting is offered at an hourly rate of $350, with a three-hour minimum engagement.
Work may take the form of:
- live intensive sessions
- asynchronous review and annotation
- portfolio consultations
- application language refinement
- written strategic feedback
- ongoing project-based collaboration
Because I maintain a full-time professional role, my consulting availability is intentionally limited.
Professional Boundaries & Ethics
All student work must remain authentically student-generated.
I do not provide:
- college list development
- school selection strategy
- admission influence or institutional advocacy
- financial aid advising
- guarantees of admission
To avoid conflicts of interest with my institutional responsibilities, I do not work with students applying to the University of California system.
Please get in touch with me if you think working together would be a good fit.
I am happy to book a complimentary 20-minute call to discuss.
