You've done the work. You've got the pieces. You're just not sure if it's all coming together the right way — or why you're not hearing back after sending your portfolio out.
You submit a short form telling me about yourself, your goals (landing freelance clients, getting hired in-house, attracting licensing deals — whatever you're working toward), and a link to your portfolio. I dig in, look at everything through the lens of your specific goals, and send back a detailed written report with honest feedback on what's working, what's not landing the way you think it is, and concrete steps you can take to strengthen it.
This is for designers, illustrators, letterers, and anyone with a visual portfolio — especially if you're early in your career and trying to figure out how to make your work actually work for you.
What you'll get: A detailed written report covering what's working in your portfolio, what could be strengthened, and specific, actionable next steps — all tailored to your actual goals, not generic advice.
Turnaround: Within one week of your submission.
Who this is for: Designers, illustrators, letterers, and visual creatives at any stage — but especially students, recent grads, or anyone who's been grinding without getting traction.
I'm Lizzie — a designer & creative director based in Chicago with 10+ years of experience across almost every corner of the creative industry: in-house, agency, freelancer, brand strategist, copywriter, and studio founder. I've hired creatives, I've been hired as one, and I've seen a lot of portfolios on both sides of that table. I know what makes someone stop scrolling and what makes them click away — and I can tell you specifically which one yours is doing.
