This mentorship helped me so much with building my confidence as well as my portfolio! I finally feel as though I have a clear direction for starting my career and I have made some very important connections as well.

Edward Burns was also very polite and really helped point me in the direction for after the mentorship. I’m very glad I applied and completed this mentorship and I’m excited to see what the future brings!!

I came into this program with very few expectations. I wasn't feeling particularly confident in my abilities or sure whether I could become an illustrator, but I wanted to challenge myself, improve my skills, and see where I stood. I was fortunate to be paired with an incredible mentor. She took the time to review my portfolio, quickly identified the areas where I needed to grow, and created briefs that helped turn my weaknesses into strengths. Together, we set clear goals and worked towards what I wanted to achieve from the program, with her guidance shaping every step of the process. I genuinely believe this program is worth the investment. Not only do you receive valuable, personalised feedback, but you're also mentored by experienced professionals who are deeply invested in helping you grow as an artist.

I highly recommend this to any artist who wants to truly understand their strengths in relation to the market. The advice was incredibly clear and gave me a much better understanding of the direction I should take with my work.

A truly valuable experience. Alexina was a thoughtful and patient mentor, and her feedback helped me grow as an illustrator. Ed’s commercial review gave me a clear sense of direction—he showed me what to improve, what to highlight, and how to take the next step in my career. I feel much more confident about my work and my path forward. Highly recommended.
