For Educators and Schools
These classes help students reach greater levels of their own creativity and break away from the usual paths and limits with excitement and encouragement. I create customized projects for each class or student based on specific needs and what the school requires.
I work with students on projects that include:
Portfolio coaching
Creative guidance
Creative career advisement
Building your own creative brand
Lectures (on location or over Zoom)
Creative Projects (including briefing, check-ins, guidance via email and on location, and final presentation)
Workshops
Award show tutoring
Creative mentoring
